Somehow you missed:

    arch/m68k/kernel/vmlinux-std.lds:  RODATA
    arch/m68k/kernel/vmlinux-sun3.lds:      RODATA

Leading to build failures in next-20191111:

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
