thanks geert, this already helped a lot, but know i don't get any further. may be you have another solution for this in your pocket?
in kernel/exit.c, there is a function defined called "release_task", which is used by arch/mips/kernel/irixsig.c .
the problem is, that the symbol is not exported. i inserted an "EXPORT_SYMBOL(release_task);" into exit.c after the function, and inserted exit.o in the export-objs list in the kernel/Makefile, and "extern static void release_task(...)" into arch/mips/kernel/irixsig.c
the problem is, that the linker is still unable to find the symbol when linking asm/mips/kernel/kernel.o :(
does anyone know, what i did wrong? its a regular misunderstanding in using the export-objs list by me, i think.
i already tried putting exit.o at the beginning and at the end of the list in kernel/Makefile, i didn't removed it from the obj-y list
