It looks like the linker decided to add .eh_frame sections even when all the .o files lacked it. Adding this flag solved it (which I prefer over adding it to DISCARD). > I like when people offer their work in a Git branch. > Do you plan to do that? Since it was based on a -tip sub-branch I didn't push a copy, but since you asked here it is: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=orphans/tip/x86/boot And this email can serve as a "ping" to the arch maintainers too... does this all look okay to you? I think it'd be a nice improvement. :) Thanks! -Kees > Thanks. > > Regards, > - Sedat - > > [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=linker/orphans/x86-arm > [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/commit/?h=linker/orphans/x86-arm&id=e43aa77956c40b9b6db0b37b3780423aa2e661ad > > > > > H.J.
