I use the toolchain I got from you and defconfig from latest -linus.

I tracked it down to .level LEVEL in syscall.S.

If .level 1.1 then the linker error happens.
If level 2.0 it succeeds.

changing LEVEL in assembly.h did not do it because
some files (at least hpmc.S) hardcoded use of .level 1.1

It was found by brute-force and I dunno what is the right way forward here.

Hope this helps.
