Hi Christophe,
  Here's the steps to reproduce (I'm doing this in an Ubuntu
16.04/arm64 QEMU/KVM VM):

tar xfJ linux-4.3.3.tar.xz
cd linux-4.3.3
make defconfig
# enable simple module for testing
echo "CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS=m" >> .config
make oldconfig
make Image modules
sudo make install
sudo reboot

Then, on reboot:

$ sudo dmesg -c > /dev/null
$ sudo modprobe overlay
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'overlay': Exec format error
$ dmesg
[  336.449238] module overlay: unsupported RELA relocation: 275
