Gerald,

I recently had this mini-nightmare, too.  I don't recall exactly
what I did to eliminate it.  I'm now using:

    linux/arch/mips/philips/nino/ld.script

and my home-built linker:            :-)

    % mipsel-linux-ld -v
    GNU ld version 2.11.90 (with BFD 2.11.90)

I can't recall whether it was a bad linker, or wrong script, or something else.

What linker and script are you using?

At one stage I used:

    EXTRA_LDFLAGS = --no-warn-mismatch

as a work-around.  But now I've successfully disabled this.

Geoff
