Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like statically linked NFS (for nfsroot). The symptom is that __init section code references __exit section code; that won't work since the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called). The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit" section annotation.
