amd64/arm64/i386 kernel requires linker ifunc support
After ifunc support was introduced, you have to run at least
"make kernel-toolchain" before "make buildkernel", or
otherwise just run
"make buildworld" first.  That will build the linker which supports
the
required functionality.

This is the -RELEASE, why is the release not built with the
proper toolchain in place?  This is not some upgrade or anything
odd, download 12.0-RELEASE i386 iso, install it with sources,
try to build a kernel.

I am running your suggested make kernel-toolchain now
to see if that fixes the problem (it shouid not, or
if it does we have a major issue with our release
building procedures.)
