Yes, xtensa compiler/linker is known to have issues with link-time
relaxation; e.g. it may fail to build linux image without CONFIG_LD_NO_RELAX.

Is there something I can do at linker build time to help with this?

I don't think so. Apparently it's not a linker configuration issue, it's a bug.

CONFIG_LD_NO_RELAX doesn't help.

For reference, here is the error:

xtensa-linux-objcopy: Unable to change endianness of input file(s)
make[2]: *** [arch/xtensa/boot/boot-elf/Image.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [boot-elf] Error 2
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

Oddly enough, I only see the problem on one of three servers.
