(Waiting for unfinished jobs...) I am not sure if this is a problem of Debian's binutils snapshot from binutils-2_21-branch (Debian-version: 2.21.0.20110302-1) from sid/i386 or this is only a problem for x86, but I just want to let you know. FYI: The previous binutils (2.21.0.20110216-2) works fine. I have tried with reverting the last two changes to arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S in linux-next: "x86: Use {push,pop}_cfi in more places" (see [1]) "x86, asm: Cleanup unnecssary macros in asm-offsets.c" (see [2]) Reverting both or [1] or [2] breaks with Debians as (2.21.0.20110302-1). BTW, [3] has a complete GIT history for the above file. So, I am unsure from where the problem exactly aroses. If this a known issue (and a fix around) or rings a bell to you, let me and others know. Thanks in advance.
