From 3283a67d8618c9a292eced23e8753ab64adc6dba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:13:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [IA64] Add __mca_table to the DISCARD list in gate.lds Add __mca_table to the DISCARD list for the gate.lds linker script to avoid broken linker references when linking the final vmlinux file. Also add comment to include/asm-ia64/asmmacros.h to avoid anyone else hitting this problem in the future.
