I am not sure, I only found this issue on LoongArch compiled with Clang,
but I think there is no effect if make it generic, like this:

diff --git a/tools/objtool/check.c b/tools/objtool/check.c
index f7586f82b967..87302e6fc07f 100644
--- a/tools/objtool/check.c

*file, struct instruction *insn,
                if (!dest_insn)
                        break;

-               /* Make sure the destination is in the same function: */
-               if (!insn_func(dest_insn) || insn_func(dest_insn)->pfunc 
!= pfunc)
-                       break;

+                       prev_offset = reloc_offset(reloc);
+                       continue;
+               }

                alt = malloc(sizeof(*alt));
                if (!alt) {

If you are OK, I will modify it.

Thanks,
