Subject: [PATCH 13/19] kbuild: ignore section mismatch warnings originating
from .note section
From: Sam Ravnborg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 23:09:35 +0200
.note* sections are ELF notes, which are typically used by external
tools to examine the kernel image. Since this is removed from any
runtime consideration, it's OK to reference any section from a .note*
section.
