Hi,
More details on the problem reported earlier. Some change introduced
after v2.6.14 makes the "relocate_code" relocate section of
arch/ppc/boot/common/util.o disappear. This results in a kernel image
with functions at util.o not being part of the relocate section,
rendering the system unbootable.
Follows relevant output, Debian unstable toolchain (/opt/montavista is
a link to the default Debian tools).
