I can't seem to find an explicit fix for that since v3.2.
Perhaps the fix is a side effect of f84f52a5c15db7d14a534815f27253b001735183
("m68knommu: clean up linker script").

Greg, any idea?

Kind of. Turns out it requires the following patches.

40c1b9cf (m68k: consolidate the vmlinux.lds linker scripts)
ed865e31 (m68k: use non-MMU linker script for ColdFire MMU builds)
f84f52a5 (m68knommu: clean up linker script)

With those patches applied, all my m68k builds (mmu and nommu) pass with 3.2.

I've queued these up for 3.2.  The first looks quite a big change in
terms of lines, but most of that is just renaming a file so I think it's
within the spirit of the stable rules.  The third is also pretty big as
m68knommu seems so broken in 3.2 that I suppose it is OK.

Hi Ben,

is that in your patch list yet ? Just wondering, because the latest nommu build still failed.

I've only just pushed them.

Yes, I see that m68k-nommu build failures are all gone now.

Great!

Looks like Guenter found follow up patches that fix it. I don't recall
this specific change breaking like this at the time though.

I think .note.gnu.build-id is a relatively recent addition. May well be that
compilers / linkers used at the time didn't generate it.
