Re: -mrelocatable broken on ppc-linux

Hi Jakub.

I'm not very -mrelocatable savvy, so I may be spouting off
nonsense... However...

I checked with the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.  Both, use -mrelocatable-lib
on a few files.  Also, ppc-linux uses a linker script that does not
ignore the .fixup sections (arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds).

Alan, in the thread he referenced, mentioned that perhaps we should
keep the fixup sections because folks could provide another linker
script, which seems to be precisely the case in the linux kernel.

Do you agree?
