"unhandled relocation type 18" ???

Hi,

when trying to "insmod" a  kernel  module  that  uses  floating-point
functions  like  "sin", we get error messages:

	unhandled relocation type 18

This is on a MPC8xx CPU with kernel 2.4.x, modutils-2.4.1; the module
and all code linked with it was compiled with "-msoft-float".


[Before you ask why we are doing something like that: it's for RTAI.]

Why is an average signature file longer than an average Perl script??

Does it also complain about a missing symbol for `sin'?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
