I'm assuming there's a metric ton of x86 specific stuff in there.
That'll take a while to clean out.

Mostly Josh's rewrite was centered around splitting out the runtime
options, but objtool is still always build with all options included,
even the ones you're not using for your arch, which is what's triggering
the problems you see here, I suppose...

Define CFI_BP to your frame register (r2, afaict) I suppose. If you're
only using OBJTOOL_MCOUNT this code will never run, so all you have to
ensure is that it compiles, not that it makes sense (-:

The very long and complicated way would be to propagate the various
CONFIG_HAVE_* build time things to the objtool build and librally
sprinkle a lot of #ifdef around.
