Correct fix is to fix the module code, which is done in the (attached)
patch.
Hope that helps!

D: Well, I have another solution, which doesn't need additional Makefile D: magic or anything. D: D: I just put the module name into each .o file where <linux/module.h> is D: included. Putting it into the section .gnu.linkonce.modname has the effect D: that even for multi-part modules, we only end up with one copy of the D: name. D: D: Caveat: I'm using the preprocessor macro KBUILD_MODNAME to know what to D: put into .gnu.linkonce.modname. The following used to happen: D: D: (drivers/isdn/eicon/Makefile) D: D: divas-objs := common.o Divas_mod.o ... D: eicon-objs := common.o eicon_mod.o ... D: D: Divas_mod.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=divas D: eicon_mod.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=eicon D: common.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=divas_eicon D: D: So in the case above, both divas.o and eicon.o would end up with D: a .gnu.linkonce.modname section containing "divas_eicon" D: D: My fix to this is to not define KBUILD_MODNAME when compiling an object D: whilch will be linked into more than one module - so common.o gets no D: .gnu.linkonce.modname section at all. Works fine here. D: D: Now, doing this I remove one of the reasons why we would need modules D: linked as '.ko' ;), but it seems much cleaner than generating a temporary D: file, using objcopy etc.
