Christoph, is your fix in -mm suitable for 2.6.23, or how else should this
regression be fixed for 2.6.23?

Looks like this is just alpha and a certain particular compiler version? 

binutils 2.15.95, gcc 3.3.6 and I could update to 4.0.4 or something
more recent I guess. And yes, it's only alpha.

Of which file do you want the objdump?

The one where the link fails. Dump the code around the unresolved symbol.

Here is one of them:

   19380:       10 00 1f 20     lda     v0,16
   19384:       e6 ff ff c3     br      19320 <srmcons_get_private_struct+0x90>
                 * Generate a link failure. Would be great if we could
                 * do something to stop the compile here.
                 */
                extern void __kmalloc_size_too_large(void);
                __kmalloc_size_too_large();
