Oh yeah,
I did need to tweak arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S a bit, as I got a
warning about a symbol being in the discard section or something like
that.  I replaced:

  /DISCARD/ : { *(.exit.text) *(.exit.data) *(.exitcall.exit) }

with:

  . = ALIGN(64);
  __exit_start = .;
  .exit : { *(.exit) }
  __exit_end = .;


Note that I haven't a clue whether what I did makes sense, but at least
it compiled and runs.
