With DEBUG_INFO=y I'm seeing:

  /opt/toolchains/6/powerpc/bin/ld: error: unplaced orphan section 
`.debug_addr' from `arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o'.
  /opt/toolchains/6/powerpc/bin/ld: error: unplaced orphan section 
`.debug_gnu_pubnames' from `arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o'.
  /opt/toolchains/6/powerpc/bin/ld: error: unplaced orphan section 
`.debug_gnu_pubtypes' from `arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o'.

And many more for the same sections from other files.
