why is this check bogus then? i tried to compile a kernel with some
recent binutils which didn't pass the test - compilation failed.
H.J.Lu's binutils [1] are working quite well, the releases from redhat
[2] seem to produce these results you wrote about.

The checkbin target fails with current binutils cvs, you need an
additional option like -many

IMHO, binutils CVS is broken, and -many shouldn't be needed.  But that's
not the direction things are heading apparently.

But I believe that when Paul talked about this with some of the binutils
folks it was decided that we should add -many to the AFLAGS so the
kernel won't have to care about this.  So can you add -many to the
AFLAGS, and make the binutils check use $(AFLAGS) as well?  Thanks.
