we saw this on Blackfin some time ago and it was tracked back to attribute mismatches in assembly files: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/tracker/3638 http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/linux-kernel/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=/trunk/arch/blackfin/mach- common/entry.S&r1=3898&r2=3897&pathrev=3898
when `ld -r` ran, the sections named .text couldnt be combined due to different attributes so ld just added the .# suffix for us
if you have scanelf installed (from pax-utils), that might help track back the source object ... `scanelf -qrk .text.1 ./` -mike [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
