I think the advice that binutils gives you in its postinst is sound:

 There are a few work-arounds, but the most reliable is to edit the
 linker script for your architecture (e.g. arch/i386/vmlinux.lds) and
 remove the '*(.text.exit)' entry from the 'DISCARD' line.  It will
 bloat the kernel somewhat, but it should link properly.
