That is puzzling. linux/jump_label.h defines a type struct
jump_label_entry if CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL_RELATIVE is #define'd,
and so the error suggests that it is not.

Can you share the command line (with V=1) and the preprocessed result?
(Re-execute the failing GCC command but replace -c with -E)
