I still have a link order problem in -common-2.5.20-[12] that I noticed after I eventually tried to run my kbuild-2.5 kernel. The initialization code in arch/i386/pci needs the pci_bus_type object from drivers/pci/pci-driver.c to be registered. Both is called at subsys_initcall level, but in kbuild-2.5 the arch specific parts are run first. The symtom is a 'BUG in device.h:75' from get_bus() early in bootup. The brute force workaround for this problem is to put link_subdir(drivers/pci) before link_subdir(arch/$ARCH) in the top level Makefile.in. I could not find out from the kbuild-2.4 files how or why it works there, but I don't think relying on the link order here is a good idea anyway, so it would best be fixed in the pci code itself.
