2.4.18-pre4: undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit'

2.4.18-pre4: undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit'

[Martin Loschwitz]

Dear ladies and gentleman,

5 minutes ago, I tried to compile Linux 2.4.18-pre4 on my Debian Sid box.
I did this from a cleanly unpacked/patched kernel-source. The build
failed for the following reason:

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \
	--start-group \
	arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \
	drivers/parport/driver.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/char/agp/agp.o drivers/char/drm/drm.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/video/video.o drivers/i2c/i2c.o \
	net/network.o \
	/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
	--end-group \
	-o vmlinux
drivers/media/media.o: In function `bttv_probe':
drivers/media/media.o(.text.init+0x15db): undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit'
							 
Would you be so friendly to fix this bug please? :)

I forgot to tell you some things that could be important:

Debian Version: 3.0/Sid
Version of binutils: 2.11.92.0.12.3
Version of gcc: 2.95.4

After downgrading the binutils-package to version 2.11.92.0.10,
it works just fine.
