Here it is: https://pastebin.com/raw/wL2Q38g0 - uploaded to pastebin to
avoid clogging everyone's inbox.

Are you building on a x86-64 host? Maybe something in my build environment
is relevant (not sure what it could be). I am building on x86-64 Debian 12
with host GCC 12.2.0, target cross GCC 14.2.0 [1]. 

Here is a minimal Dockerfile that reproduces the issue (docker build should
fail on the last command when it gets to MODPOST vmlinux.symvers):

	# docker build --progress=plain .
	FROM debian:12

	ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
	RUN apt-get update && \
		apt-get install -y \
			build-essential git make gcc-12 binutils util-linux bc gawk flex \
			bison dwarves tar wget

	WORKDIR /work
	RUN git clone --depth 1 --single-branch --branch v6.15 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
	RUN wget 'https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/14.2.0/x86_64-gcc-14.2.0-nolibc-riscv32-linux.tar.xz'
	RUN tar xf x86_64-gcc-14.2.0-nolibc-riscv32-linux.tar.xz

	WORKDIR /work/linux
	ENV PATH=/work/gcc-14.2.0-nolibc/riscv32-linux/bin:$PATH
	ENV CROSS_COMPILE=riscv32-linux-
	ENV ARCH=riscv
	RUN make distclean && \
		make defconfig && \
		make 32-bit.config && \
		./scripts/config \
			-e DEBUG_KERNEL \
			-e DEBUG_INFO \
			-e DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT \
			-d DEBUG_INFO_NONE \
			-d DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED \
			-e FTRACE && \
		make olddefconfig

	RUN make -j19 vmlinux

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any additional info or test.
