Nevermind, I confused it with a different problem that I'm running into
with randconfig builds:

arm-linux-gnueabi-nm: 'arch/arm/boot/compressed/../../../../vmlinux':
No such file

I applied your patch, and it did not happen for a couple of randconfigs,
but that is now back. So I did not test the bug you are fixing, and the
thing that I thought you fixed is still there.
