Section mismatches reported on the 2.6.25 kernel (x86_64).

Description BedOS_Gui 2008-02-13 15:27:36 UTC
Latest working kernel version:
Earliest failing kernel version:
Distribution: Gentoo ~amd64
Hardware Environment: amd64 X2
Software Environment: gcc-4.2.2
Problem Description:
With "make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y" above kernel building occurs these section mismatch warnings :

  MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6c67): Section mismatch in reference from the function nearby_node() to the variable .cpuinit.data:apicid_to_node
The function nearby_node() references
the variable __cpuinitdata apicid_to_node.
This is often because nearby_node lacks a __cpuinitdata 
annotation or the annotation of apicid_to_node is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6c9a): Section mismatch in reference from the function nearby_node() to the variable .cpuinit.data:apicid_to_node
The function nearby_node() references
the variable __cpuinitdata apicid_to_node.
This is often because nearby_node lacks a __cpuinitdata 
annotation or the annotation of apicid_to_node is wrong.

The function srat_detect_node() references
the variable __cpuinitdata apicid_to_node.
This is often because srat_detect_node lacks a __cpuinitdata 
annotation or the annotation of apicid_to_node is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6dfd): Section mismatch in reference from the function srat_detect_node() to the function .cpuinit.text:numa_set_node()
The function srat_detect_node() references
the function __cpuinit numa_set_node().
This is often because srat_detect_node lacks a __cpuinit

The function reserve_hotadd() references
the function __init absent_pages_in_range().
This is often because reserve_hotadd lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of absent_pages_in_range is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x18c62d): Section mismatch in reference from the function pci_scan_child_bus() to the function .devinit.text:pcibios_fixup_bus()
