Bionic is not affected, because this relocation seems to be generated by
new binutils. Tested that bionic kexec-tools can load a linux-hwe-edge
4.18 kernel.

Title:
kexec fails with "Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32"
Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in kexec-tools source package in Bionic:

Bug description:
[Impact]
Without this fix, kexec won't be able to load kernels on amd64.
[Test Case]
kexec has been tested to be able to load a 4.18 kernel.
[Regression Potential]
As the fix is only applied to the x86_64 portion of kexec, only this platform
should be affected. Package with fix has been tested there.
When running kexec with 4.18, it fails.
$ sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-5-generic --initrd
/boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-5-generic --append "`cat /proc/cmdline`"
Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32
