Probably my assumption was wrong about cross compiler.
HOST tool fails (objtool) and it's being build by separate i686->i686 compiler.

I think the big list is mostly irrelevant. I was wondering why only x86 fails from my list of
different targets (ARM, ARM64, MIPS64, x86, x86_64, PPC), but it turns out that objtool is only
built for HAVE_STACK_VALIDATION targets (means, x86 only?).

I've tried to build it for MIPS64 with make tools/objtool and it fails in the same way.

One special thing about my compiler is really old glibc it's being built against
(hello RHEL :) maybe this causes reverse order of includes.

Nevertheless two conflicting defines of BITS_PER_LONG will only work with one particular
order of includes but not opposite.
