Description
objtool is missing on linux-esx-devel packages, while it's available on linux-devel, linux-aws-devel and linux-rt-devel
E.g.:
$ ls /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.154-1.ph3/tools/objtool/
fixdep Makefile objtool
$ ls /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.154-1.ph3-esx/tools/objtool/
Makefile
I would like to know if that was done on purpose or if it's a packaging issue.

Research direction
Compare the contents of linux-esx-devel with linux-devel, linux-aws-devel, and linux-rt-devel, focusing on the tools/objtool directories shown in the report. Determine whether the missing objtool files are intentional or a packaging issue, then verify the linux-esx-devel package contains the expected files if a change is needed.
