kallsyms failure: relative symbol value 0x100007aa4 out of range in relative mode

[M1cha]

I'm compiling for ARM with gcc-linaro-6.1.1~linaro-gcc-6-branch@f3888e76-20160721-x86_64_arm-eabi.

EDIT: the official 'gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-eabi' seems to be broken too

@M1cha We recently had a change in kallsyms, could you please try building at the following commit: d58310d?

[M1cha]

I am using the latest master branch already :)

[pscollins]

Have you done an mrproper since the last time you pulled from master?

@pscollins I cloned the project for the first time today, so yes.

[M1cha]

to make it easier for you to reproduce it, here's the toolchain I use:
https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/arm-eabi/

also, I'm using Arch Linux if that matters.

The commit tavip mentioned is BEFORE the kallsyms change. So I suggest to try this to make sure the change did not break anything.

@tavip @Rondom sry that I misunderstood the post.
I tried building at the commit mentioned but I still get the same error.

[tavip]

Thanks for trying it out. I will install the toolchain and give it a try tomorrow. We probably need to tune some gcc parameters.

The above patch alleviates this issue, but not sure if this is the right fix or not...
