So, this is of course already too late for 5.2. Since there were also
problems with old compilers for x86 [1], I think I'll try to change this
to an opt-in model (the arch says HAVE_..., but then actually choosing
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS is up to whoever does the .config, with
a warning in the help text that it may fail to compile/link depending on
toolchain).

Andrew, please drop the following five patches from your tree (sha1s as
per next-20190522):

f418571688c5 powerpc: select DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS for PPC64
0dd95e972ef8 arm64: select DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS
1a086a6f12ca x86_64: select DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS
a6e9afb84c99 lib/dynamic_debug.c: add asm-generic implementation for
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS
e301d47f9756 lib/dynamic_debug.c: introduce
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_RELATIVE_POINTERS

Thanks,
Rasmus
