Ok, I've found the problem. Binutils changed the meaning of symbol assignments in linker scripts. It is actually documented, but rather obscurely in /usr/share/doc/binutils/ld/NEWS.gz.
This breaks the relocation of "jiffies". It also makes got.plt go away in each vdso (a small improvement). This means there *isn't* a binutils bug. Upstream kernels need a small patch, which I have got ready with some proper explanation and will send after I've had some sleep. -- maverick toolchain producing unbootable (hanging) kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
