So I looked into those errors, the config is basically = RELOCATABLE +
MEDLOW - EARLY_ALTERNATIVES. Then errata/thead is not compiled as
medany, which makes sense since we only need this code to be medany
when EARLY_ALTERNATIVES is enabled (because the code would be executed
with mmu off, which is not the case here).

I can fix those errors by adding the medany flag, but I'm not sure
actually we want to do that since we do not need it and gcc does not
complain: any idea?

Thanks for taking a look.  Shouldn't CONFIG_RELOCATABLE be setting
-fPIC? If so, why is LLD complaining about -fPIC not being used?

arch/riscv/Makefile sets -fPIE if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE == y.

Is it possible that -fpie was dropped for these object files, or
-fno-pic or -fno-pie was added to the cflags for these object files
somehow?

I've filed
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1872
to track this.

Using R_RISCV_{HI20,LO12_I,LO12_S} to refer to non-absolute symbols in a 
PIE shouldn't be allowed, it's not going to produce the right answer at 
runtime.

We've got a lot of complicated bits in the build scripts so it's worth 
checking to make sure that `-fPIE` actually manifests in the link step.  
If it is and GNU LD isn't complaining then I think we've likely got a 
linker bug.

There was a runtime issue where I had to drop the -fPIE for those
files because some part *may* be executed before the MMU is enabled,
so any access to a global symbol through the GOT needs a relocation
which is "done" only virtually.

commit 8dc2a7e8027f ("riscv: Fix relocatable kernels with early
alternatives using -fno-pie") added the -fno-pie flag, but not the
medany because the medany is correctly set in errata/thead/Makefile
only when EARLY_ALTERNATIVES is set.

So to me we do not need the medany flag if !EARLY_ALTERNATIVES since
the code is not executed with MMU off and then medlow should work.
