Your email was entirely unrelated to the previous thread, so I split it off.

If you can reproduce this with such a wide variety versions, send your
..config and I'll see if I can reproduce it locally.

Why is your CHOST alphaev5-alpha-linux but you're compiling for EV67?

Well actually that�s the --build option that was set when building gcc
itself. I have several different gcc versions for both EV5 and EV67. I was
thinking rolling my own Fedora releases, one for myself and possibly
something more general (EV5) for Oliver.

Found a patch for the 'section mismatch'... the GPREL16 error still remains
though.

It seems the problem, GPREL16, is pretty wide spread. I've tried building
the drivers as modules, since that doesn't appear to be a problem *knock on
wood* but one driver after another, after another, after another generates a
new GPREL16 error! Raid0 drivers, numerous NetFilter modules, IR drivers
(guess I can't use a Hauppauge card), and various other components. I'm
going to try a few more configurations... then hit the sack. I'm pretty sure
this is going to be a long process.
