Kernel Compile Problem

["Victor R. Cain" <vic@vicsfamily.net>]

I'm trying to compile kernel 2.4.16 on a LX164 machine.  All the compiles
go fine, but when it tries to link to create "vmlinux", I get four 
identical
errors, one from char.o, something like this:
drivers/char/char.o   undefined reference to 'local symbols in 
discarded section .text.exit'
and, in three different places in net.o:
drivers/net/net.o      undefined reference to 'local symbols in 
discarded section .text.exit'

Any help would be appreciated,
Vic Cain
