I just compiled using gcc 3.3.5 (debian stable). Please verify that your
disk is not full and gcc is the cause. If it is, this patch should do the
trick: :)

Not so fast.. post your config? If you've got anything referring to
relocatable kernel support, try disabling it?

I got the same as well here on my box.
I am using Red Hat 9, with a lot of things upgraded.
I found other "hints" that this might be a binutils issue,
which obviously hasn't been touched in years on Red Hat 9,
so I picked up the binutils built for Fedora Core 3,
and installed them...
That solved the problem.

Hi Al,
> What was your binutils version (# ld -v) before and after the upgrade?
I was on the "last" version of binutils that Red Hat 9 had, which was:
binutils-2.13.90.0.18-9.i386
I went up to the prebuilt version of binutils from Fedora Core 3:
[root@scottk7 tmp]# ld -v
GNU ld version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927
[root@scottk7 tmp]# rpm -qa|grep binutil
binutils-2.15.92.0.2-5.1

Documentation/Changes still says 2.12, and your binutils is closer to 2.14.
I can't think of a particular patch to point the finger at (looking now).
If you want an interim workaround, grab a newer binutils (probably 2.17),
install it to a prefix like $HOME/binutils, then:
export PATH=$HOME/binutils/bin:$PATH
And confirm the resulting kernel builds and works.

Another obvious question is, did -rc1/-rc2 compile correctly? If you have the
time, go through all the -rc's, that'll make a bisection easier (if you end
up having to do one).
