Apparently all kernel scripts only have .rodata and not also .rodata.* input
sections in it.
This has been no problem so far, but since binutils and gcc support SHF_MERGE
sections (so that string constant (and other constant too) duplicates can be
removed at link time) the compiler creates sections like .rodata.str1.1
and they really should be merged into the rodata output section
(or whatever else) during linking (the default binutils linker scripts are
doing this for ages).
On some architectures it creates no problems, just one more section in
section table (like i386), on others it causes the kernel not to boot at all
(e.g. on ia64).
Please apply.
