When building recent kernels for Alpha I am getting the following relocation errors: alpha-linux-gnu-ld -static -N --build-id -o .tmp_vmlinux1 -T ./arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds arch/alpha/kernel/head.o init/built-in.o --start-group usr/built-in.o arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o arch/alpha/mm/built-in.o arch/alpha/math-emu/built-in.o kernel/built-in.o certs/built-in.o mm/built-in.o fs/built-in.o ipc/built-in.o security/built-in.o crypto/built-in.o block/built-in.o lib/lib.a arch/alpha/lib/lib.a lib/built-in.o arch/alpha/lib/built-in.o drivers/built-in.o sound/built-in.o firmware/built-in.o net/built-in.o virt/built-in.o --end-group net/built-in.o: In function `packet_setsockopt': net/packet/af_packet.o:(.text+0xf71d0): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .text section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(ev6-copy_user.o) I can solve it by de-selecting config items, but it is getting frustrating that I can't build the kernel I would like to build. Is there anything we can do to resolve these relocations?
