Not exactly, but almost; please let me fill in JFTR:

Most people probably guessed correctly that this is related to
building the CRIS v10 kernel with the *-elf toolchain (which has
the convention that symbols are prefixed with underscores for
cris-*-elf and crisv32-*-elf) while (IIUC) the CRIS v32 kernel
is built with the *-linux-gnu toolchain (which does not have any
symbol prefix for cris-*-linux-gnu crisv32-*-linux-gnu).

One Might Imagine that there'd be build machinery in place in
the kernel such that such a symbol prefix issue could be hidden,
like a header to include and using e.g. S(symbol) in all
assembly files.  (Actually some time ago I thought there already
was, but Jesper corrected me.)
