Hi all,

After merging the kbuild tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

ld: vmlinux.a: member arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check in archive is not an object
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o:61: vmlinux.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1166: vmlinux.o] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:222: __sub-make] Error 2
Command exited with non-zero status 2

I don't know what caused this.

I have used the kbuild tree from next-20220907 with the top 4 commits
reverted again.
