Re: ppc64 testing binutils

[Cameron MacPherson <cameron.macpherson@gmail.com>]

after apt update && apt -t experimental upgrade

$ ld --version

GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.50.20201209

thinking it could be something with my .config i tried again using /boot/config-5.10.0-trunk-powerpc64 and got the same result.  i haven't yet had time to look into it further or report it elsewhere.

make KERNELRELEASE=5.10.1 ARCH=powerpc KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=1 -f ./Makefile
[...]
  CC      init/main.o
ld: final link failed: bad value
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:279: init/main.o] Error 1
