Hi,

I am getting a compile error while compile stock 2.6.0 kernel on an 
Itanium 2 system.

I am using gcc-3.3.2 and binutil-2.14.

I have set the processor type to Itanium 2, and selected generic kernel. 
Full configuration file enclosed.

The error is happening because __initdata is not defined. I am not sure 
if __initdata should be defined or not for IA64.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

         please upgrade to a newer version (it is safe to use this 
linker, but
         the kernel will be bigger than strictly necessary).
