link error in usbdrv.o (2.4.17-pre5)

[Will Dyson]

When compiling 2.4.17-pre5 with the usb compiled in, the final link 
produces the following error:


ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext

Are you running Debian unstable ? I had the same problem with latest
binutils. Downgrading fixed the problem.

Downgrade your Debian binutils to the previous version rather than the
one in the snapshot of the week. (Its probably fair to say its not the
binutils fault thats just the fix)

Enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG to fix this for now.
