Hi,
I've reproduced it on kernel x86 selftests.
To do it, run:
$ cd linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86
$ make `pwd`/sysret_ss_attrs_64
Which results in the same error:
root@x86-64-debian:~/x86# make
/root/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86/sysret_ss_attrs_64
gcc -m64 -o /root/linux/tools/testing/selftests/x86/sysret_ss_attrs_64
-O2 -g -std=gnu99 -pthread -Wall sysret_ss_attrs.c thunks.S -lrt -ldl
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccVOq79r.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text'

I've check on other distributions (Arch Linux, Fedora) - that works

Also I did check vanilla gcc with this release commit:
