5 minutes ago, I tried to compile Linux 2.4.18-pre4 on my Debian Sid box.
I did this from a cleanly unpacked/patched kernel-source. The build
failed for the following reason:
ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \
--start-group \
arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \

/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \
--end-group \
-o vmlinux
drivers/media/media.o: In function `bttv_probe':
drivers/media/media.o(.text.init+0x15db): undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit'
Would you be so friendly to fix this bug please? :)
