I'm a bit late testing, but the first thing I noticed is this warning:

ld: arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.o: warning: relocation in
read-only section `.head.text'
ld: warning: creating DT_TEXTREL in a PIE

The compiler is gcc 9.2.1 20200215, with default PIE enabled, ld version 2.35.1.
The config used is the 64bit defconfig.

Best Regards,
