This failed to build on two x86_64 machines I have access to with (one
on test.kernel.org);

  OBJCOPY arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
  BFD: Warning: Writing section `.data.percpu' to huge (ie negative)
  file offset 0x80471000.

CONFIG_NR_CPUS was 8. The build log can be seen at
http://test.kernel.org/abat/45342/debug/test.log.0 and the .config is at
http://test.kernel.org/abat/45342/build/dotconfig . I haven't done any
further investigation in case this is a known problem. If it's new, I'll
start digging.
