Testing the latest kernel (3.16-rc3) I hit this build bug:

VDSO2C arch/x86/vdso/vdso-image-64.c
Error: too many copied sections (max = 13)
/arch/x86/vdso/Makefile:61: recipe for target 'arch/x86/vdso/vdso-image-64.c' failed
make[3]: *** [arch/x86/vdso/vdso-image-64.c] Error 1
/scripts/Makefile.build:404: recipe for target 'arch/x86/vdso' failed
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/vdso] Error 2

I bisected it down to this commit:

commit 0e3727a8839c988a3c56170bc8da76d55a16acad

x86/vdso: Remove some redundant in-memory section headers

When I revert this commit, it compiles fine.
When I revert that I get

Error: cannot handle memsz != filesz

When I revert that mentioned commit I get
Error: too many copied sections (max = 16)

But if I revert bfad381c0d1e19cae8461e105d8d4387dd2a14fe as well
then everything is back to normal.


This is with binutils-2.20.51.0.2-15 (I assume Konrad is using the same environment as I do. But in any case, reverting bfad381c0d makes the build work for me at that version).
