I ran into a modules build printing over 100K ERROR lines a month ago:
    https://lkml.kernel.org/r/<1478165881-9263-1-git-send-email-pebolle@tiscali.nl>

That had to do with setting TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS and so unsetting UNUSED_SYMBOLS,
as far as I could tell. Did you perhaps also have UNUSED_SYMBOLS unset when
your modules build when splat?

And did your bzImage build by any chance print this (to stderr):
    sed: can't read .tmp_versions/*.mod: No such file or directory

If so I might have run into your second issue a month ago already, which makes
your bisect to commit cd3caefb4663 ("Fix subtle CONFIG_MODVERSIONS problems")
suspect. Or did that bisect not cover the second issue?

Likewise (ie, both the modules splat going away if doing a single make and
being baffled, but more that a wee bit).
