Update: I now have a config that builds & boots fine, and I've done a 
.config bisection to figure out which config option combination breaks the 
build, which turned out to be the new MODULE_COMPRESS options:

--- .config.good.002	2021-05-10 14:34:48.932206255 +0200
+++ .config.bad.002	2021-05-10 14:40:48.587450742 +0200
@@ -899,8 +899,8 @@ CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL=y

Setting it to gzip triggered this build bug.
