Tim, thanks for your work!

Sadly it broke the parisc build in two places:
a) THREAD_SIZE can't be used in the vmlinux.lds.S file
b) It generates linker errors like "local symbol 0: discarded in section `.exit.text' from kernel/built-in.o".

Attached patch below fixes both issues. Tested with 32- and 64-bit parisc kernel.
