Hi,

 when trying to build 2.6.32.2 or 2.6.33-next on RHEL-4.3(64-bit userland), I get the following errors (this is from 2.6.33-next-20091228):

  MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xd2f04): Section mismatch in reference from the function hugetlb_register_node() to the function .init.text:hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate()
The function hugetlb_register_node() references
the function __init hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate().
This is often because hugetlb_register_node lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of hugetlb_sysfs_add_hstate is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x20805a): Section mismatch in reference from the function dmar_ir_support() to the variable .init.data:dmar_tbl
The function dmar_ir_support() references
the variable __initdata dmar_tbl.
This is often because dmar_ir_support lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of dmar_tbl is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x222941): Section mismatch in reference from the function acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() to the variable .cpuinit.data:processor_idle_dmi_table
The function acpi_early_processor_set_pdc() references
the variable __cpuinitdata processor_idle_dmi_table.
This is often because acpi_early_processor_set_pdc lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of processor_idle_dmi_table is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x410dce): Section mismatch in reference from the function pcibios_scan_specific_bus() to the function .devinit.text:pci_scan_bus_on_node()
The function pcibios_scan_specific_bus() references
the function __devinit pci_scan_bus_on_node().
This is often because pcibios_scan_specific_bus lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of pci_scan_bus_on_node is wrong.

================================


 For 2.6.32.2 I only get the "undefined reference to `.L949' error.

 And yes, I know that RHEL-4.3 is old. But it is still widely used.
