I got the same error building kernel 4.14.4-gentoo with CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y and this thread is the only reference to it on the internet :

I just switched the linker to ld.bfd (instead of ld.gold) and it builds fine.
Code:
binutils-config --linker ld.bfd

The linker can of course be switched back to ld.gold after kernel build.

(as a side note I switched to BFD linker because of x32 VDSO build error but then I tried again CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER and it worked...)

I'v been poking at this every few days, trying something else.

Different kernels, the new amdgpu in kernel-4.15
Putting the graphics card in the primary and secondary slots.
Turning off various combinations of CPU cores.
Everything changed the frequency of the lockups but nothing eliminated them.

Its now run almost three days without a lockup.
I had to turn off Message Signalled Interrupts.

MSI going wrong explains the lockups. The CPU gets the address of the IRQ service routine in the message and begins executing code there ... only sometimes the message is garbled.
I'll put it down to using a PCIe v3 card in a PCIe v2.1 slot and needing to use the probably not well tested PCIe fallback (to the card) signalling.

The problem is not really solved but it is understood.

-- edit --

Maybe not. I turned the screensaver on and went away for a few hours.
It was locked up when I came back.
