Depending on the architecture, different variants of the same error.

ERROR: "__bad_cmpxchg" [drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__cmpxchg_small" [drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer" [drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.ko] undefined!

v4.4 and v4.20 are also affected by this problem. The impact differs
from release to release; for example, sparc64 is affected in v4.4.y,
but not in v4.19.y / v4.20.y. I suspect that the problem is also seen
in v4.9.y and v4.14.y, but the compilation doesn't get there
due to the other problems in those releases.

Also, for powerpc builds:

arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c: In function ‘sys_rt_sigreturn’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c:761:21: error: ‘msr’ undeclared

and for mips64:
