It's not reporting it correctly:
.gnu.version_d 0x00000000008966b0 0x0
.gnu.version_d
0x00000000008966b0 0x0
arch/x86/boot/compressed/kernel_info.o
.gnu.version 0x00000000008966b0 0x0
.gnu.version 0x00000000008966b0 0x0
arch/x86/boot/compressed/kernel_info.o
.gnu.version_r 0x00000000008966b0 0x0
.gnu.version_r
0x00000000008966b0 0x0
arch/x86/boot/compressed/kernel_info.o
it just reports whatever file is listed on the link command line first.
