I'm using hppa64 binutils 2.21 to build the kernel. It generates the R_PARISC_PCREL32 relocation that the kernel module loader doesn't handle: RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [__ex_table]: OFFSET TYPE VALUE 0000000000000000 R_PARISC_PCREL32 .text.unix_ioctl+0x0000000000000064 0000000000000004 R_PARISC_PCREL32 fixup_put_user_skip_1+0x0000000000000008 0000000000000008 R_PARISC_PCREL32 .text.unix_ioctl+0x00000000000000a8 000000000000000c R_PARISC_PCREL32 fixup_put_user_skip_1+0x0000000000000008 0000000000000010 R_PARISC_PCREL32 .text.unix_ioctl+0x00000000000000b4 0000000000000014 R_PARISC_PCREL32 fixup_put_user_skip_1+0x0000000000000008 0000000000000018 R_PARISC_PCREL32 .text.unix_ioctl+0x00000000000000c0 000000000000001c R_PARISC_PCREL32 fixup_put_user_skip_1+0x0000000000000008 Mikulas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
