I just tried building and installing binutils from sid on jessie, and
then building a kernel module for the current kernel on the machine.
Module built with binutils from jessie loads fine, modules built with
binutils from sid has the mcount symbol error.

So I would agree, these two bugs do not appear to be the same even
though they seem to have appeared at the same time (both are triggered
by changes in binutils, but not the same change most likely).

The ppc64le does look like the missing weak symbols are the problem,
and powerpc64 seems to be something else (since the powerpc64 kernel
never had the symbol that ppc64le says it can't find).
