So, you have: extern char __bss_start; extern char __bss_start[]; And those are two different types. So, when and why was this changed? The second one is correct, the first one is broken. You'll better discuss with the kernel folks. > btw, what type has a declaration in vmlinux.lds? void pointer? void pointer - but the compiler does not see this, that is seen by the linker - and you get a compiler error.
