Has this fix been reverted? It isn't in -pre8 or -rc1.

net/network.o(.text.lock+0x17b8): undefined reference to `local symbols
in discarded section .text.exit'

It's kind of impossible to compile the kernel at the moment (even the
CONFIG_HOTPLUG fix mentioned doesn't work).

I tried downgrading binutils & it didn't work.. possibly I didn't go
back far enough. What is the newest version that is supposed to work?
