Subject: bug/section mismatches on 2.6.31 ?

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a kernel build problem that I haven't seen before. For some reason, make is telling me 'WARNING: modpost: Found 3133 section mismatch(es).' during the process. The currently running kernel is a 2.6.29.4-grsec (custom configuration) on CentOS 5.2. Gcc's version is 4.1.2, which I left untouched. I've built kernels on this machine before, without problems.

I've attached a log of 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' which is not making a lot of sense to me, which is why I'm forwarding it to you, hoping that you might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong here or whether perhaps I've encountered a bug here. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
Ro Achterberg
