Hi,

[ http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11143 has it all]

This patch solves the problem for me.  Without it building modules
before the kernel proper fails to find crtsavres.o when linking.

I did not install the .o nor it's prerequisites so only fixed building
modules in tree. For building external modules these
LDFLAGS_MODULE_PREREQ would need to be installed too, as noted by Olaf
in the bug. I do not need them to be installed myself, so please take
care of it if you have time to do so.

Ben, Paul or Sam, could you please look at this and make comment
if it is the right approach?

I also agree that this should be back ported to the stable series

(Note: for some reason this patch did *not* show up in patchwork).

because it was sent as an attachment.

Indeed. Sorry for that..
