linker assigns addresses in relocatable output

[mokabar]

Binary package hint: binutils

compiling kernel 2.6.32, the linker seems to assign addresses for relocatable output, resulting in BUG messages like:
unable to handle kernel paging request

see [1]

after bisecting the kernel sources, i found the first bad commit, which is related to the linker script. tejun heo assumes, that it is a bug in the linker [2]

actually, i am not using a binutils package from ubuntu, but from the `Ubuntu Toolchain Uploads' ppa. the version is 2.20-1ubuntu1~ppa1.

I assume this issue is now obsolete with newer binutils and kernels
