How do those relocation errors look like?

What exactly caused those errors, the flags removal from
kexec-purgatory.o?

Because this is the difference I can see from

b059f801a937 ("x86/purgatory: Use CFLAGS_REMOVE rather than reset KBUILD_CFLAGS")

Or is it something else?

Can we have the failure properly explained in the commit message pls?

You don't have to say "This change" in the commit message - it is
obvious which change you're talking about. Instead say: "Restore the
appropriate... "

Thx.
