Hi, Laurent
With gcc -fexceptions, kexec/kdump fails to load:
# kexec -p /boot/vmlinuz
Warning: append= option is not passed. Using the first kernel root partition
REL24 -157778404 out of range!
(I'll attach the full log of kexec -d in the end of this email)
I narrowed it down to the following commit (git-bisect):
commit d047cb7
Author: Laurent Dufour <ldufour at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Mon Feb 3 15:37:49 2014 +0100
kexec/ppc64 ELF ABIv2 ABI support
When building in PPC64 little endian mode, the compiler is now using the
new ABI v2. Among other changes, this new ABI remove the function
descriptors and changes the way the TOC address is computed when entering a
C function.
The purgatory assembly part where the dot symbols are removed, and ELF
relocation code are impacted in this patch.

This is a ppc64 big endian platform. If I mask -fexceptions or use a
previous version of kexec (prior to this commit), load is just fine.
Could you please look into this issue? Let me know if you need anything
and I'm happy to test once you have a patch.
Thanks
