Ok, this changeset:

[LINUX] Support creating ELF note segments in the kernel ELF image.

dies, while the previous one
(11222:cd4e7ace4e58d9e35c08ccaa4677c6b6d0cf137b) works.

Looking at the patch, I thought it might be a toolchain issue, so I
tried with two toolchains, both of which displayed the same results.

(cross compiling i386 to x86-64)
gcc version 3.4.4
ld version: 2.15

(native compilation on x86-64)
gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.1.1 20040303 (SuSE Linux)

Cheers,
Muli
