There's a linker error at the end:

CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD vmlinux
lib/lib.a(vsprintf.o): In function `resource_string':
vsprintf.c:(.text+0x149e): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_9UW_PCREL
against `.text'+16a8
vsprintf.c:(.text+0x14ae): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_9UW_PCREL
against `.text'+16ac

which seems to exist since May 26th in Linus' tree.

for more details.
