Linux-2.5.27-28 "undefined reference to local symbols in discarded section .text.exit"

I need some ideas here.

I fixed the one mentioned below by changing md.c to a module. Then I2C had
the same problem and fixed it by changing to a module. Now parport(?) has
the problem and it's already a module. The current linker error is...
