Hi again,
Using GCC 4.0.0 on the Broadcom SB1 MIPS64 board, the
compilation crashes at the final link phase with the
following errors:

`.exit.text' referenced in section `.pdr.20' of
net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section
`.exit.text' of net/built-in.o
I know nothing about this one.
My first thought was "ah, might be because I'm using
an old GCC, so I'll try something more recent and see
what happens". When trying GCC 4.1.0 (snapshot from
20051017), I get the following error:

This one may be a compiler bug (experimental GCCs are,
well, experimental!) but it makes it somewhat harder
to know if the later issue is resolved by using a
different toolchain.
This is not a GCC bug, but a change in GCC behavior. One patch was
posted here:
http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=Pine.LNX.4.61.0511022057140.3511%40trantor.stuart.netsweng.com
I don't know if the change made it into the linux-mips git repository or
not.
