Tried defconfig, allyesconfig.

Ah, I forgot that we don't check the type at all, so this is not the case.
But still, I would like to test what if the remove binding check at all?
diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.c b/scripts/mod/modpost.c

struct symbol *s =

}

if (!is_vmlinux(modname) || vmlinux_section_warnings)

Thanks,
Denis
