Naresh, any chance you could test again adding the following:

diff --git a/arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S b/arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
index 3161b9ccd2a5..b6276a3521d7 100644
--- a/arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
+++ b/arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
@@ -4,6 +4,7 @@
  * Written by Niibe Yutaka and Paul Mundt
  */
 OUTPUT_ARCH(sh)
+#define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT
 #include <asm/thread_info.h>
 #include <asm/cache.h>
 #include <asm/vmlinux.lds.h>


My guess is build environment is using ld < 2.36??
and this is probably similar to:
a494398bde27 ("s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error with GNU ld < 2.36")
4b9880dbf3bd ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT")
