.config which triggers the bug

Hi kernel developers.

Since binutils-2.36.1 is released, we managed to incorporate them into Linux From Scratch (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/).  Unfortunately, some users and editors report that they are getting segfaults from objtool trying to build the kernel.

$ make mrproper
$ gzip -cd ~/config-segfault.gz > .config
$ make arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.o
(long output ...)
  CC      arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.o
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:279: arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.o] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
make[3]: *** Deleting file 'arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.o'
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:496: arch/x86/kernel/apic] Error 2
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:496: arch/x86/kernel] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1801: arch/x86] Error 2

It's reproducible with kernel source code of 5.10.x (at least 5.10.14 and 5.10.15).  It only happens if binutils-2.36 or 2.36.1 is used.  Binutils-2.35.x builds the kernel without any problem.

The stack backtrace is:

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
