I'll take a look on how to do sparc's btfixup in a similar way, without
messing up the common code too much. BTW, the combination kallsyms +
btfixup, does that need a particular ordering?

No, the kallsyms object file would not need to be seen by
the btfixup.o generator. It could therefore be done validly
as:

1) build .tmp_vmlinux
2) build btfixup.o
3) build kallsyms
4) link final vmlinux image

The order of #2 and #3 could be transposed and that would be fine too.
