Yes I had the same problem, when I update my binutils it went away.
"/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes"
Current Minimal Requirements ****************************
Upgrade to at *least* these software revisions before thinking you've encountered a bug!
- Binutils 2.7.0.3
Note that the last officially released version of Binutils is 2.7.0.2, and binutils 2.7.0.3 isn't even available in the GCC private developers snapshot location anymore.
When I tried using the latest private snapshot, which is binutils 2.7.0.10, the kernel wouldn't build at all --- ld complained that the ___{start,stop}___{extable,keytab} symbols were missing.
Stymied, I fell back to the 2.7.0.2 binutils that's included with RedHat 4.1, and the resulting kernel appeared to work.
We should be really, really careful before telling people to use private development-only snapshots. In fact, if the only way to compile the 2.1 kernel is to use private development-only snapshots, I would agrue something really wrong has happened.
