Hi Josh,

When applied to linux-next 20200414 (where it was reported) and using
config-r2092, objtool still loops (I killed it after 6 minutes of CPU time).

When applied to linux-next 20200424 and using the same config-r2092 file,
objtool appears to terminate normally and the entire build does also.

thanks.
