Ok, and so is it the same pb with binutils 2.13.90 (if you have the opportunity
to test it)?

I will try to find some time to open a pr near debian maintainer ;-)

Thanks,

PS: The disk I used to test 64bits kernel on teh N class is broken :(, so
awaiting a spare part and rebuild a system, here I will go to build the kernel
2.4.21-pa0 and 2.4.21-pa1 (in 32bits mode) then objdump all object and diff
them in the hope to find the pb
