On a related note, I see tons of the following warnings cross-building for
MIPS:

WARNING: init/mounts.o (.mdebug.abi32): unexpected non-allocatable section.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.

WARNING: init/mounts.o (.pdr): unexpected non-allocatable section.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.


I added ".pdr" and ".mdebug*" to the whitelist; the resulting kernels still
work. (gcc-4.3.3, binutils-2.19.1)

Thanks!
