Well that's odd.  Perhaps something is configured differently.
Please do this:

	make bzImage

Near the end of the build, see the line 

	ld -m elf_i386 -T  <lots of .o files> -o vmlinux

delete all the .o files which appear that command line.

Now, run

ld -m elf_i386 -T arch/i386/vmlinux.lds $(find . -name '*.o') 2> /tmp/1

Now, go through all the junk in /tmp/1 and search for the text "discarded".
It will mention a filename.   That's the info we want.


Thanks.
