Subject: 2.4.16 -> undefined reference to `local symbols ...

Hi,

I tried now several times to 'make' the 2.4.16-kernel, but I get allways
the same error:

...
a /usr/src/linux-2.4.16/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
--end-group \
-o vmlinux
drivers/char/char.o(.data+0x46b4): undefined reference to `local symbols
in discarded section .text.exit'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I tried downloading the tarball again several times, but I get the same
error every time.

tnx
michael

Known problem, you're probably using Debian testing. Either downgrade
your binutils, or use 2.4.17-rc2.
