This might be because I'm using current binutils (i.e. 2.11.92 from the CVS). I believe there was a bug in older versions where relocations against symbols from discarded sections were still resolved, to a useless value (zero, I think). Thus you may be lucky to get the kernel built, but if the symbol ever gets referenced (the gets function called), bad things will happen.
