Linux 2.6.23.9:
80056eb4 T kernel_execve

My coworker built Linux 2.6.23.12 and got:
EPC=80056ee0 which does not correspond to anything in his System.map.

With a different set of tools, I also built 2.6.21.7 and got:
EPC=80056eb8 which also does not correspond to anything in the 
corresponding System.map.

If this does not ring any bells, do you have any suggestions for how I 
could debug this issue?


Thanks
