I'm trying to go to ELF, modules, and gcc 2.7.0 on kernel 1.2.11. I am
currently running gcc 2.5.8 (aout) on kernel 1.2.8. After various fits and
starts to build a kernel with ELF support, I have got almost to the end, but
encountered the following error. I've tried to figure it out myself, but I
am not a serious kernel guru. Any help on how to get past this would be
greatly appreciated.
