Hi all,

I need to add a few bytes of 0's in my vmlinux object
file.So I have added a LONG(0) statement in
arch/mips/ld.script. But the linker spits out a parse
error at that line when I do a 'make'

Here is the snippet:
. = ALIGN(32);   	
  __initcall_start = .;
  .initcall.init : { *(.initcall.init) }
  __initcall_end = .;
  LONG(0)
  . = ALIGN(4096);	/* Align double page for
init_task_union */
  __init_end = .;

Can somebody say what is wrong in here?

I would guess that you need a semicolon after LONG(0). Or, I think 
maybe LONG() is only valid inside a section description. Try to put it 
just after *(.initcall.init).
