Hi again,

Using GCC 4.0.0 on the Broadcom SB1 MIPS64 board, the
compilation crashes at the final link phase with the
following errors:

`.exit.text' referenced in section `.pdr.78' of
arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o: defined in discarded
section `.exit.text' of arch/mips/kernel/built-in.o

My first thought was "ah, might be because I'm using
an old GCC, so I'll try something more recent and see
what happens". When trying GCC 4.1.0 (snapshot from
20051017), I get the following error:

In file included from include/linux/nfs_fs.h:15,
                 from init/do_mounts.c:12:

make[1]: *** [init/do_mounts.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

This one may be a compiler bug (experimental GCCs are,
well, experimental!) but it makes it somewhat harder
to know if the later issue is resolved by using a
different toolchain.

Any suggestions on how to fix either/both problems?

Thanks,

Jonathan Day
