Yes this looks strange. CC Michal since such errors only show up in
microblaze:

linus/master errors
├── microblaze-allnoconfig
│   └── mm-slub.o:(.text):undefined-reference-to-_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
├── microblaze-mmu_defconfig

I can reproduce the error in commit d0ecd894e3d5f768a84, and
confirmed that it's parent commit builds fine.
