I get with gcc trunk and CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_LARGE=y:

...
  MODPOST vmlinux.o                         
  ld: failed to convert GOTPCREL relocation; relink with --no-relax

and after adding --no-relax to vmlinux_link() in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh:

  MODPOST vmlinux.o

Works fine with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_LARGE unset.
