I see many many section mismatches when compiling with gcc 4.1 and
binutils 2.17.50.20070426 They appear to be from .sdata to
.init.data.
This is with basic zx1_defconfig with a few mods.
The reason appears to be compiler weirdness..
WARNING: init/built-in.o(.sdata+0x30): Section mismatch: reference to
.init.data:ino (after 'root_mountflags')
(initramfs.s contains a 32-word table `head'. Code like:
static __initdata struct hash {..} *head[32];
for (p = head; p < head + 32; p++)
is generating:
.section .sdata
L24:
.data8 head#+256
Rather than adding 256 to head at run time, the compiler loads L24 and
uses that for the comparison. This triggers the warning.
