That's interesting, it seems as if your assembler is slightly confused. I'm
presently building the kernel with 3.2, and haven't noticed any such
compilation problems.

Since you likely aren't interested in initramfs to begin with, you can simply
pop open usr/initramfs_data.S and remove the incbin line altogether if the
problem persists. The relevant sections will still be generated by the ld
script, so you should still be able to link just fine by doing this.

Anyways, here's my 2.6.0-test1 .config if you want to try with this instead,
though I suspect this same issue will happen since it appears to be more of
an assembler issue.
