It is the right file, and so far this is the only defconfig on which I
see the "does not converge" error, so I don't have any other one.

I suspect this might be an issue in the version of lld that I have here
and unrelated to LTO, and I can confirm that I see the error
with LTO still disabled.

It seems to be completely random. I do see the bug on next-20201203
but not on a later one. I also tried bisecting through linux-next and
arrived at "lib: stackdepot: add support to configure STACK_HASH_SIZE",
which is almost certainly not related, other than just changing a few
symbols around.
