Hi, I am trying to cross compile a kernel for arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnu. It fails to link the i2o driver properly: `i2o_exec_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o `i2o_driver_exit' referenced in section `.init.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o Also, I followed the following HOWTO: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml The problem does not occur when I build the i2o driver as a module. When I remove __exit from both i2o_driver_exit() and i2o_exec_exit() in drivers/message/i2o/ the problem seems to be solved.

Created attachment 142609 [details] Kernel .config file This is the .config file for my kernel.
You'll have to try something more uptodate (2.6.23+); there won't be any fixes for 2.6.19... Thanks.
