Failing to specify "ax" in the pushsection caused ld to generate an additional section for .init.text appending a number.
A side effect of this was a section mismatch warning because modpost did not recognize a .init.text section named .init.text.1: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.head+0x247): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:start_kernel (between 'is386' and 'check_x87') Fix this by hardcoding the "ax" in the pushsection. Thanks to Torlaf for reporting this. Alan Modra @ binutils provided the hint that made me able to locate the root cause of this warning.
