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.
