AFAIR a 64k alignment between code and data segments was introduced
in debian shortly before the sarge release, but no attempt to
systematically rebuild with that toolchain was made (because debian
sarge supports only 4k paged kernels). A rebuild of the respective
sarge packages should be enough to work around the problem.
