I have seen this one as well, and it wasn't a space problem, but some weird toolchain issue.

My old toolchain was a cross compiler based on: GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.4 20020814 Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
