If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag as appropriate

All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):

ERROR: start_text address is c000000000000200, should be c000000000000100
ERROR: try to enable LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH config option
ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh


Following those instructions fixes this build error for me.
Can ktr/lkp do that?
Otherwise just ignore this ERROR.

Set CONFIG_EXPERT=y
and CONFIG_LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH=y.

However, after doing that, I get these messages:

INFO: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x30ef664) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000)
INFO: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0x3100000)
