Hmm, don't know if they keep a full log, but the error is

   mm/slub.o: In function `__slab_free.isra.13':
>> (.text+0x1038): undefined reference to `_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'  
   scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: line 93: 48917 Segmentation fault      ${LD} ${LDFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS_vmlinux} -o ${2} -T ${lds} ${objects}

I suspect the change to thin archives, allowed the linker more
flexibility to satisfy all relocations with GOT relative. And
that would cause the bug.

If you could verify that the upstream kernel build succeeds with
an upstream binutils using allnoconfig, then we could see about
updating the kbuild test robot's toolchain.

Thanks,
Nick
