How do those relocation errors look like?

What exactly caused those errors, the flags removal from
kexec-purgatory.o?

Because this is the difference I can see from

Or is it something else?

Can we have the failure properly explained in the commit message pls?

You don't have to say "This change" in the commit message - it is
obvious which change you're talking about. Instead say: "Restore the
appropriate... "

Thx.
