I can confirm that it also happens when building with s3c6400_defconfig and
HEAD at commit 5fd00b031530cc476240f654c078c930f1dcd6ea (Merge branch 'for-
linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shaggy/jfs-2.6).

The suggested workaround (make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1) helps, but it is only a
workaround and not a solution.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Tomasz Figa
