I need to correct this.  The problem was that I rebuilt only dm-
multipath, and not it's dependency dm-mod. If I rebuild both modules
with the FSF compiler, they load on a kernel built with the Linaro
compiler.

Title:
  arm64: "unsupported RELA relocation"

Status in Linux:
  Unknown
Status in gcc-5 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  linux-image-4.3.0-5-generic 4.3.0-5.16 arm64 fails to load modules
  (and therefore boot). It emits messages like the following for each
  attempted module load:

  [    2.156817] module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275

  This is reminiscent of LP: #1502946 - except that fix appears to still
  be in-tact. What has changed, however, is the build environment. If I
  rebuild the same kernel source in a wily chroot, it boots fine.

  Marking "Confirmed" because Paulo Pisatti reported this to me, and I
  reproduced.
