Building the ppc64 kernel with a modern binutils results in this
warning:

 powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.gnu.hash' from
 `linker stubs' being placed in section `.gnu.hash'

Alan Modra <amodra@gmail.com> explains:

 > .gnu.hash, like .hash, is used by glibc ld.so for dynamic symbol
 > lookup.  I imagine you don't need either section in a kernel, so
 > discarding both sounds reasonable.  Likely you could discard .interp
 > and .dynstr too, and .dynsym when !CONFIG_PPC32.
