This is currently only fixed for powerpc. Fixes for x86 and ARM were
proposed but not merged, and all other architectures don't even have
a fix as far as I can tell.

It's only broken with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y though, and not all modules
are affected on all architectures, so a lot of testers have not noticed.

Fixed by commit 818f38c5b7c4 ("MIPS: Fix build of compressed image"). So this
is actually fixed since v4.9-rc4, but I only looked into this again today.

There's a patch, acked by Riku Voipio, last version at
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-kbuild/msg13696.html
Michal: ping, does anything need to be done for merge?

Not fixed yet, that pull merely allowed per-arch asm/asm-prototypes.h,
you need to actually provide those files on affected archs; patches for
x86 and arm exist.
