It could be this

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git/commit/?h=thin-ar&id=ec2c9c20f0efab37ae31de44fe0617aa61283905

    kbuild: handle libs-y archives separately from built-in.o archives

That touches the lib linking code regardless of CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVE.
You should be able to revert it by itself (which will break a few
other archs, so you would also have to revert the default y patch
for thin archives to repair your tree if this is the cause).

I'll try to get around to it after I fix up some other arch breakage
caused by the series :)

Thanks,
Nick
