As of 2.5.54bk6 (including 2.5.55) I get the following compilation error:

  gcc-2.95 -Wp,-MD,init/.version.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -fomit-frame-pointer -nostdinc -iwithprefix include    -DKBUILD_BASENAME=version -DKBUILD_MODNAME=version   -c -o init/version.o init/version.c

The reference_discarded.pl script says following:
 pangsit:/usr/src/linux/net> perl ~otter/reference_discarded.pl 
 Finding objects, 245 objects, ignoring 0 module(s)
 Finding conglomerates, ignoring 11 conglomerate(s)
 Scanning objects
 Error: ./ipv6/af_inet6.o .init.text refers to 000003e4 R_386_PC32 .exit.text
 Done

I tried both gcc-2.95 & gcc-3.2.2 .
