I never tested it with 2.4.17pre8, the comment I read was saying, that it's at least better with that version, but that there is still the possibility of a failure.
The newester versions 2.4.17-rc2 and above perhaps improved that, but I remember that I disabled the pcmcia module (compiled it statically into the kernel) and had success with pre8 and binutils. But this only shows, that the problems with the new binutils arise on several different locations in the kernel source. The solution I had not yet tested is the downgrading of binutils. I haven't found the version I mentioned earlier in the debian pools, so I will perhaps go for the version, I have on woody-CDs, I bought a month ago. But I don't know, if that will break some dependencies... thus requiring further downgrading of other parts.
