Subject: [PATCH] [EXPERIMENTAL, v2] enable thin archives and --gc-sections on ARM
I'm still build testing with an experimental change to enable
thin architeves and --gc-sections on ARM, which should bring
multiple benefits
- improve build times
- allow 'allyesconfig' to succeed without exceeding the
section size when linking drivers/built-in.o
- reduce the kernel image size
However, I have now run into a build error binutils commit
f02cb05 ("Always descend into output section statements in
lang_do_assignments") in binutils-2.28 and later:
no __ex_table in file: vmlinux
Any idea what's going wrong here?
