Subject: Another .text.exit error with 2.4.19-rc1

Seems like ServeRAID driver is causing problems

System: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (IBM eServer 232 with ServeRAID 4Lx)

compiling kernel stops, error output:

drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o(.data+0x3874): undefined reference to local symbols
in discarded section .text.exit'


and output of "reference_discarded.pl" by Keith Owens:

aq144:/usr/src/linux# perl ../reference_discarded.pl
Finding objects, 392 objects, ignoring 0 module(s)
Finding conglomerates, ignoring 35 conglomerate(s)
Scanning objects
Error: ./drivers/scsi/ips.o .data refers to 000000d4 R_386_32
.text.exit
Done
