The Xtensa linker, by default, does some code shrinkage (some of the "relaxations") after applying relocations, causing code to move around. This can sometimes cause error/warning messages to use incorrect addresses. (Not trivial to fix in the linker.) There's a config option LD_NO_RELAX to disable linker relaxation. If using this option fixes the names, it may be this issue. -Marc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
