When building Linux 2.6.6 on Alpha, I get numerous of these warnings:
{standard input}:6: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .got
What's going on? I'm using gcc 3.3.3 and binutils 2.15.90. Are these
not good? Is the resulting kernel safe to boot?

Mine boots and the box has been up for few days now...

Sounds promising. I guess I'll just give it a try. Now, does anyone
know what causes those warnings?

For some weird reasons, the new GAS doesn't like "s" (SMALL_DATA)
attribute for the .got section (see asm-alpha/module.h).
These warnings are harmless. I hope the GAS will eventually be
fixed though...

Thanks, now I won't be as nervous booting the new kernel. New
warnings always scare me. I've seen too much code fail on Alpha for
stupid reasons.
