It turns out the problem here is that some .o files wind up with their own .note.gnu.build-id sections. I got the makefile magic wrong, thinking that LDFLAGS_MODULE was a variable specifically for .ko links. It's also used in cmd_link_multi-m. So the problem David and Adrian saw is not actually machine-dependent at all, nor is it an ld bug as I had guessed, but depends on the configuration details that determine when cmd_link_multi-m gets used.
I'll post a makefile fix shortly. Thanks, Roland - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
