I'm now getting

ld:/home/mmarek/linux-2.6/scripts/module-common.lds:23: ignoring invalid
character `^' in script
ld:/home/mmarek/linux-2.6/scripts/module-common.lds:26: ignoring invalid
character `^' in script
ld:/home/mmarek/linux-2.6/scripts/module-common.lds:27: ignoring invalid
character `^' in script
ld:/home/mmarek/linux-2.6/scripts/module-common.lds:28: ignoring invalid
character `^' in script

when linking modules and a similar warning when linking vmlinux (caused
by the next patch in series). I tried writing the carets as \^, but that
doesn't help at all...

$ ld --version
