There's a linker error at the end:

  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      vmlinux
lib/lib.a(vsprintf.o): In function `resource_string':
vsprintf.c:(.text+0x149e): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_9UW_PCREL 
against `.text'+16a8
vsprintf.c:(.text+0x14ae): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_9UW_PCREL 
against `.text'+16ac
