arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S has DISCARDS /DISCARD/ : { *(*.EMB.apuinfo) *(.glink .iplt .plt .rela* .comment) *(.gnu.version*) *(.gnu.attributes) *(.eh_frame) } Since .rela* sections are needed when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is defined, change to discard .rela* sections if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is undefined.
