Subject: 2.6.19-rc2 has ld error for ppc64

On building 2.6.19-rc2 on ppc64, ld always reports such an error:

".text exceeds stub group size"

...

this patch can make ld happy without any complain.

This is not an error. It is just a warning that might help explain a
later error. If the linker doesn't give any errors then the warning
may safely be ignored.

Many warnings aren't a good thing, we should have a clean build, this
patch should be good.
