Sorry for our late reply. We rechecked this case and noticed that this
issue can be reproduced by clang-15, but can't be reproduced by newer
version of clang. Not sure if this is a flaw in old version of LLVM
toolchain, just for your information.

$ COMPILER_INSTALL_PATH=$HOME/0day COMPILER=clang-15 ~/lkp-tests/kbuild/make.cross W=1 ARCH=riscv
..
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
