Here is another interesting problem, seen when building arm64 allmodconfig
-CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN +CONFIG_EFI.

kallsyms failure:
	relative symbol value 0xffffff9008073000 out of range in relative mode

This is due to symbols such as

000000000000000e n __efistub_$d

in the symbol table. Those are not filtered out by kallsyms, resulting in a
relative "base" address of 0x0e, and all other symbols are out of range.
Those symbols are only generated in efi/libstubs.

Any idea what might be going on there, and how to fix it ?
An easy fix would be something like

-       else if (stype == 'N')
+       else if (toupper(stype) == 'N')

in kallsyms, but that doesn't seem like a clean solution to me.

Thanks,
Guenter
