With CONFIG_RELOCATABLE enabled, KBUILD_CFLAGS had a -fPIE option
and then the purgatory/string.o was built to reference _ctype symbol
via R_RISCV_GOT_HI20 relocations which can't be handled by purgatory.
As a consequence, the kernel failed kexec_load_file() with:
[ 880.386562] kexec_image: The entry point of kernel at 0x80200000
[ 880.388650] kexec_image: Unknown rela relocation: 20
[ 880.389173] kexec_image: Error loading purgatory ret=-8
So remove the -fPIE option for PURGATORY_CFLAGS to generate
R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20 relocations type making puragtory work as it was.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
