A quick look through the source find no definition of __start__ex_table but a definition of
a segment __ex_table, so my guess is this is a "tools" problem, or possibly something
that only works on a 486 or above. The kernel was compiled on a 2.1.6 machine, with
gcc 2.7.2, as 2.7 (BFD 2.7.0.3) and ld 2.7 (BFD 2.7.03).
