Yeah, I don't know what you did here but building with that .config, I can't
even boot that kernel in a VM because doing:

qemu-... -kernel bzImage ...

sends me into grub and asks me to select the default kernel.

And my qemu script boots arbitrary kernels just fine.

Also, I used clang-20 from here:

https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/llvm/

and version 20.1.8 took something like ~10(!) minutes to link vmlinux with
that config. Just FYI for Nathan, maybe something's weird there.

Leaving it in.
