RE: 2.6.23-rc4-mm1 build issue: ia64 link error

[Luck, Tony]

> local symbol 0: discarded in section `.exit.text' from arch/ia64/kernel/built-in.o

This usually means that there is a static __exit function (or __devexit etc.)
somewhere in the object being linked.  The error message is pretty unhelpful
in figuring out *where* in the module.  Look at the 'mm' patches that touch
arch/ia64/kernel to see if one of them tinkers with __exit* attributes.
