What is the exact build command + test case command? I'd like to
reproduce this myself.

Have you tested 4.4.180? There were two subsequent fixes to this patch
in 4.4:

485d15db01ca ("kbuild: simplify ld-option implementation")
07d35512e494 ("x86/vdso: Pass --eh-frame-hdr to the linker")

While it is redundant for ld.bfd, it causes a build failure with the
release version of ld.lld:
