i've been incapable of compiling a kernel for almost a month now; linking
always fails:
drivers/char/char.o(.data+0x46b4): undefined reference to `local
symbols in discarded section .text.exit'
drivers/net/net.o(.data+0x154): undefined reference to `local symbols
in discarded section .text.exit' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
i understand the problem is some kind of technical detail where the
kernel linking stage relied on the linker being too forgiving about
something. i've read the details on google, but don't fully understand
the problem.
anyway, the issue is, i'd like to recompile my kernel.
is there a fix for this problem other than downgrading my linker?
