Kernel link failure info
You may experience problems linking older (and some newer) kernels
with this version of binutils. This is not because of a bug in the
linker, but rather a bug in the kernel source. This is being worked out
and fixed by the upstream kernel group in newer kernels, but not all of
the problems may have been fixed at this time. Older kernel versions
will almost always exhibit the problem, however, and no attempts are
being made to fix those that we know of.=20
There are a few work-arounds, but the most reliable is to edit the =20
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.

It's a serious problem or not ???
