That makes sense, especially given the fact the *original* error messages didn't change. Sorry for being "thick". Corrections made. Build proceeding... --Bob

That should fix the copy_user relocation errors. Have accumulated enough patches that I'm running a "from scratch" build rather than trusting all the dependency checking. It will be sometime next year before I report back :-). --Bob

Thought to try this, but, bad news. With '.section .alphalib,"ax"' added to the top of "arch/alpha/lib/*.S" (below opening comment block, if present, but prior to any include directives), and the modified patch to "arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S", I now get multiple relocation errors as follows: LD init/built-in.o arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(strcat.o): In function `strcat': (.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: BRADDR against symbol `__stxcpy' defined in .text section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(stxcpy.o) arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(strncat.o): In function `strncat': (.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: BRADDR against symbol `__stxncpy' defined in .text section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(stxncpy.o) drivers/built-in.o: In function `radeon_cs_parser_init.part.4': drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_cs.o:(.text+0x119bd0): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_cs.o:(.text+0x119cd8): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_cs.o:(.text+0x119db4): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/built-in.o: In function `radeon_cs_ioctl': (.text+0x11aa28): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/built-in.o: In function `radeon_cs_ioctl': (.text+0x11aaf8): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/built-in.o: In function `vga_arb_read': drivers/gpu/vga/.tmp_vgaarb.o:(.text+0x215844): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/built-in.o: In function `vga_arb_write': drivers/gpu/vga/.tmp_vgaarb.o:(.text+0x2162c4): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/built-in.o: In function `dma_buf_ioctl': drivers/dma-buf/.tmp_dma-buf.o:(.text+0x233998): relocation truncated to fit: BRSGP against symbol `__copy_user' defined in .alphalib section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(copy_user.o) drivers/built-in.o: In function `generic_ide_ioctl': (.text+0x237c64): additional relocation overflows omitted from the output Makefile:969: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 --Bob

As a good measure you may want to prepend `ALIGN_FUNCTION();' as well, although I'm not sure offhand if it really matters here. HTH, Maciej
