I tried make clean and it did not help..

I'm not sure if I'm not overlooking something obvious or am getting
crazy, but this is what I've done so far:

I took gcc command line for drivers/pnp/card.o and drivers/pnp/core.o
from make V=1 and run it manually ending up with this:


compile:
[jolsa@jolsa linux-2.6-tip]$ gcc -Wp,-MD,drivers/pnp/.card.o.d

drivers/pnp/core.c


run objdump:
[jolsa@jolsa linux-2.6-tip]$ objdump -R drivers/pnp/.tmp_core.o 

drivers/pnp/.tmp_core.o:     file format elf64-x86-64

objdump: drivers/pnp/.tmp_core.o: not a dynamic object
objdump: drivers/pnp/.tmp_core.o: Invalid operation
[jolsa@jolsa linux-2.6-tip]$ objdump -R drivers/pnp/.tmp_card.o
objdump: drivers/pnp/.tmp_card.o: File truncated


run file:
[jolsa@jolsa linux-2.6-tip]$ file drivers/pnp/.tmp_card.o 
drivers/pnp/.tmp_card.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped

drivers/pnp/.tmp_core.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped


I checked other objects in drivers/pnp/ and for some reason the file command shows 
card.o (the object which is failing) as "stripped" and others as "not stripped" ... no idea why :)


I'm probably going to clone new tree... :)
