Michal, thx for the report. Please correct me if I'm wrong: this as of
now is unfixed, as your patch to fix is afaics wasn't merged yet (at
least I can't see it even in next, but I might be missing something).

Hence adding it to the regression tracking now that the end of the merge
window is near:

#regzbot ^introduced eb0481bbc4ce
#regzbot title objtool: build failure
#regzbot monitor:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230629102051.42E8360467@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
#regzbot fix: objtool: initialize all of struct elf
#regzbot ignore-activity

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
