Package: binutils Version: 2.17.50-1 Severity: serious Tags: patch Hello,
When I try to compile the latest kernel (2.6.21.5 with grsecurity but that's not the point), it fails during link phase : GEN .version CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD vmlinux ld: vmlinux: section `.init.text' can't be allocated in segment 0 ld: final link failed: Bad value make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Seems to happen with 2.6.20.4 too, see : http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?p=6829 It's the same issue as described on this page : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=269679 Patches submitted on May, 10 : http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2007-05/msg00051.html I suppose it happens with every attemp to compile a kernel...
