Hi,

I built 2.6.34-rc6 with the attached Fedora Config file
(config-2.6.33.1-19.fc13.ppc64) on my P5 Fedora Box and got the
following warning. Is the following expected ?

CALL arch/powerpc/relocs_check.pl
Building modules, stage 2.
WARNING: 4 bad relocations

No, it's not expected. It's in iSeries code, so you could avoid it
just by disabling CONFIG_ISERIES (I don't think any distro still
supports legacy iSeries). I'll post a patch to fix the problem
properly.
