Re: [BUILD-FAILURE] linux-next: Tree for June 30

Here is a patch to replace the hard-coded limit with dynamic allocation. 
  I have only build-tested it, but it seems to work.

Please try it out; barring any screams to the contrary I'll add it to -tip.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: remove arbitrary ELF section limit in 32-bit relocatable kernel

Impact: build failure in maximal configurations

The 32-bit x86 relocatable kernel requires an auxilliary host program
to process the relocations.  This program had a hard-coded arbitrary
limit of a 100 ELF sections.  Instead of a hard-coded limit, allocate
the structures dynamically.
