Hi ktr/lkp,

This is not "All errors". I suggest that you improve your output by
(also) grepping for "ERROR:", so that the following lines would be
included here:

ERROR: start_text address is c000000000000200, should be c000000000000100
ERROR: try to enable LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH config option
ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh


and yes, enabling LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH does fix this build error.

thanks.
