Hi all, After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 defconfig) failed like this: Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S relocation: __end_rodata_aligned /kisskb/src/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile:127: recipe for target 'arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.relocs' failed Caused by commit 39d668e04eda ("x86/mm/pti: Make pti_clone_kernel_text() compile on 32 bit") This was a build using gcc 4.6.3. the i386 defconfig also failed like this: Invalid absolute R_386_32 relocation: __end_rodata_aligned They started failing on next-20180723 (which is the first -next that contained the above commit). Sorry that we did not notice this earlier. At least the i386 defconfig build works with gcc 7.3.1.
