Sure. I didn't save my original but just cooked a new one up and
verified it errors out. The below will get these errors on mainline
when compiled as a module, even as an in-tree module:

ERROR: "__lshrti3" [uhohspehgettio.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__ashlti3" [uhohspehgettio.ko.ko] undefined!


#include <linux/module.h>

__uint128_t global1, global2;
__uint128_t addrs[8];

void do_something(__uint128_t a, unsigned int idx)
{
        addrs[idx] = a;
}

static int __init mod_init(void)
{
        do_something(global1 >> global2, (global2 << global1) & 7);
        return 0;
}

module_init(mod_init);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");
