Hi all,
I'm quite new to the list and I'm not sure if this has been posted
already but I thought I would give it a shot. I've been trying to
build the 2.5.* kernels (2.5.37 at the moment but this has happened
with previous version as well) and when doing a make bzImage i keep
getting the following error during the final linkage:
<-- snip make entering and leaving individual driver directories with no
errors -->

This is with gcc 3.1.1 on gentoo.
Also, is there a dependable link to searching the archives for this
list? I found some on the faq page but the results were less than
useful.
Thanks in advance.

I think this means you need to update your binutils.
Kind regards,

You are wrong. One workaround would be to _downgrade_ binutils.

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.

Is CONFIG_DE2104X enabled in your kernel? If yes this is a known problem
and a workaround is to compile this driver only modular. If this is not
the problem please send me your .config .

No I don't have CONFIG_DE2104X enabled. I'll attach a copy of my
config that i'm using.
And for some more information I'm using version 2.12.90.0.7 of
binutils.

Enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG or downgrade your version of binutils. That
should fix the symptom.
As to how to fix the problem, you have to dig to determine which driver
is trying to reference a pointer that is marked __exit.
Hope this helps,
