Thanks for trying it. I confess I hadn't tested modules much, since module support with Thumb-2 has been in the kernel for ages and is not arch-specific. Can you give me a pointer to the exact config which was used, so I can try and reproduce it? Is there a build log? IIUC, that relocation should not be ending up in modules: it's a short branch with range +/-2K, so fixup would rarely succeed. Maybe there is a tools issue, or some missing processing step when .kos get generated...
