Let me check I've got this straight.
The ELFv2 ABI is still being developed, so there are no released
toolchains that support it right?
So this patch is precautionary, in that it means kernels from this
commit onward will build correctly with newer toolchains. Anyone wanting
to build an older kernel with a new toolchain will need to backport this
patch?
cheers
