Well, seems like you got lucky here. You can try to check for other modules if any of them have R_MIPS_LO16 with bit 15 set. Also, you can try to enable: CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y to alter the build process. These options didn't change anything in terms of relocs for me though. > -- > Thanks, > ~Nick Desaulniers Thanks, Al
