kbuild: fix segfault in modpost
Fix modpost segfault. Before: ------- ynezz@ntbk:~/linux-2.6.git$ scripts/mod/modpost vmlinux ath_pci.o Segmentation fault After: ------ ynezz@ntbk:~/linux-2.6.git$ scripts/mod/modpost vmlinux ath_pci.o FATAL: section header offset=815726848 in file 'ath_pci.o' is bigger then filesize=153968 Sam: This seems to warn for a binutils issue. Anyway modpost should not segfault. Signed-off-by: Petr Stetiar <ynezz@true.cz> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
