I'm trying to compile a hardened kernel (linux-2.6.36-hardened-r6) and the build is generating thousands (literally) of section mismatch warnings. I've copied my old .config (2.6.31, non-hardened) to the root of the source tree and did a `make oldconfig' followed by `make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'. WTF's up with this?
FWIW, I'm working on rebuilding my box and the make is within a chroot'ed environment - working through the system build process to a temporary directory tree with the intent of booting from a CD and replacing the existing filesystem with the new version. FWIW#2: Google'd `linux section mismatch' and didn't get any hits that would point to a reason for the mismatches or a solution for resolving them. -- Michael J.
