I'm not quite sure what's causing this, but I get the following error message (make V=1):

ld -static -N -T arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s
arch/alpha/kernel/head.o init/built-in.o --start-group usr/built-in.o
arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o arch/alpha/mm/built-in.o arch/alpha/math-emu/built-in.o kernel/built-in.o mm/built-in.o fs/built-in.o ipc/built-in.o security/built-in.o crypto/built-in.o lib/lib.a arch/alpha/lib/lib.a lib/built-in.o arch/alpha/lib/built-in.o drivers/built-in.o sound/built-in.o net/built-in.o --end-group -o .tmp_vmlinux1
local symbol 0: discarded in section `.exit.text' from drivers/built-in.o

make then aborts at this step. At other times, I've gotten errors that read the same as the above line, for symbols "1" through "4", in order.

I'm going to guess there's a problem with one of the drivers I've got built-in to the kernel, but I haven't been able to figure much else out.. I tried using readelf, but didn't find the "0" symbol.

.config and drivers/built-in.o are at http://x-ray.rcs.purdue.edu/alpha-2.6/

gcc version is "gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 (Debian 20040422)" binutils version is "2.14.90.0.7 20031029 Debian GNU/Linux"

Could you try to locate it with scripts/reference_discard.pl, and if that fail, post your .config (preferably compressed) so I can try to debug this on my alphas?

Thanks.

This is known problem - missing __devexit_p() wrapper in serial PnP driver.

Thanks for handling this for me.

Nifty, that works perfectly. Thanks.

Here:

Finding objects, 1285 objects, ignoring 386 module(s) Finding conglomerates, ignoring 61 conglomerate(s) Scanning objects
Error: ./drivers/serial/8250_pnp.o .data refers to 0000000000000020
REFQUAD .exit.text
Done

So, is this an ISAPNP thing? My .config is attached (compressed). I turned off ISAPNP and am running make on it again right now.
