Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of most trees

Hi Dave,

After merging almost all the trees, today's linux-next build (sparc64
defconfig) failed like this:

arch/sparc/lib/hweight.o: In function `__arch_hweight8':
(.text+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_WDISP19 against symbol `__sw_hweight8' defined in .text section in lib/hweight.o
arch/sparc/lib/hweight.o: In function `__arch_hweight16':
(.text+0xc): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_WDISP19 against symbol `__sw_hweight16' defined in .text section in lib/hweight.o
arch/sparc/lib/hweight.o: In function `__arch_hweight32':
(.text+0x18): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_WDISP19 against symbol `__sw_hweight32' defined in .text section in lib/hweight.o
arch/sparc/lib/hweight.o: In function `__arch_hweight64':
(.text+0x24): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_WDISP19 against symbol `__sw_hweight64' defined in .text section in lib/hweight.o

I though it may have been caused by the thin archive changes, but
disabling CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVE did not fix it. I have cc'd Nick and
Masahiro just in case.

I am using powerpc-le hosted cross compilers:
	gcc 5.2.0
	binutsila 2.25.2

I have left it broken for now.

32 bit sparc is not affected.
