[parisc-linux] Linker problems

[Alex deVries]

When I build the current kernel in CVS, it gets remarkably far, then dies
on:

parisc-linux-ld -m hppaelf -e stext arch/parisc/kernel/head.o
arch/parisc/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \
        --start-group \
        arch/parisc/kernel/kernel.o arch/parisc/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o
mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \
        fs/filesystems.a \
        net/network.a \
        drivers/block/block.a drivers/char/char.a drivers/misc/misc.a
drivers/net/net.a drivers/video/video.a \
        /usr/src/parisc/work/linux/arch/parisc/lib/lib.a
/usr/src/parisc/work/linux/lib/lib.a
/usr/src/parisc/work/linux/arch/parisc/lib/lib.a \
        --end-group \
        -o vmlinux
make: *** [vmlinux] Aborted (core dumped)
make: *** Deleting file `vmlinux'

That's remarkably gross, since it indicates that there's a problem with
the linker.  I'm not quite sure what it is, but the problem seems to come
up when it's processing lib/libc.a.

I think that's a good thing for someone to look into.
