This still breaks under Debian sarge. There is this (german) forum thread about it: http://www.debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=570102 Robotic english translation: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.debianforum.de%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fp%3D569756%26sid%3D20278bfd231c5dac45fa0f2763c7ec54%23569756&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 And it indicates that 0x510 would be the better offset due to 0x600 making it clash with the data section beneath. Indeed when I change it to 0x510 I can compile the kernel with binutils 2.15-6. I'm hoping this wont cause the kernel to eat my grandma. :) -- "To the extent that we overreact, we proffer the terrorists the greatest tribute." - High Court Judge Michael Kirby - 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/
