Yes, so I mean make objtool depend on CONFIG_BROKEN because it is indeed
broken as at now.

Or we'll end up at least:

select HAVE_OBJTOOL if AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS && AS_HAS_THIN_ADD_SUB && !CC_IS_CLANG && !RUST

this is already nasty and I still don't know if it covers all broken
cases (I've no idea if GCC will generate frame pointer in some cases as
well...)

Then we can still backport the large fix to the stable branches when we
finish it up.
