I'm reporting that I am getting a linker warning with 6.5-rc2. The
warning message is:

ld: warning: discarding dynamic section .rela.opd

and bisects to:

8ad57add77d3 ("powerpc/build: vdso linker warning for orphan sections")

Despite the warning, my ppc64 system seems to run fine. Let me know if
you need any other information from me.

I noticed [0] this with 6.5-rc1 but didn't contact the right people.
