From 2a6de3148cfd1a0240a85ea4a1cad34d250d882f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 21:22:31 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] x86, realmode: Allow absolute pa_* symbols in the realmode code Allow pa_* symbols to be absolute (outside any section) in the realmode linker script. Some versions of GNU ld are known to be unhappy about symbols defined in a section that is otherwise empty. Signed-off-by: H.
