Research direction
Start with config_aarch64 and config-esx_aarch64, then review the 5.0 aarch64 make build and the config-applicability check described in the issue. Confirm the RELR-related symbols are represented in both configs and rerun the aarch64 build; done means the package build succeeds without the workaround script.

Description
Describe the bug
Hi @vbrahmajosyula1, Hi @sshedi ,
Since 5fce7ef, Photon 5 builds with gcc 12.5.0 and binutils 2.46.1.
GNU ld 2.46 advertises RELR support, so olddefconfig adds CONFIG_TOOLS_SUPPORT_RELR=y and CONFIG_RELR=y. Those two entries must be in the aarch64 configs (config_aarch64, config-esx_aarch64);
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RELR and CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_INLINE are already set. With the new symbols present, %prep’s config-applicability diff is a no-op.
Reproduction steps
5.0 aarch64 make build
Expected behavior
successful 5.0 aarch64 make build
Additional context
The following workaround patches config-esx_aarch64and config_aarch64.
