It doesn't look like it is toolchain-specific and in both cases,
copy_mc_fragile's checksum is 0.

SUSE Leap 15.1:

Name           : binutils                                        
Version        : 2.32-lp151.3.6.1

$ grep -E "(copy_mc_fragile|copy_user_generic_unrolled)" Module.symvers
0x00000000      copy_mc_fragile vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
0xecdcabd2      copy_user_generic_unrolled      vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL

debian testing:

Package: binutils
Version: 2.35-2

$ grep -E "(copy_mc_fragile|copy_user_generic_unrolled)" Module.symvers 
0x00000000      copy_mc_fragile vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
0xecdcabd2      copy_user_generic_unrolled      vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL
