unresolved symbols on SPARC with depmod -ae

unresolved symbols on SPARC with depmod -ae

[Jeff Layton]

In the last few kernels, I seem to always get the following message when
doing make modules_install or depmod -a on both my SPARC boxes. Does this
have something to do with FPU emulation perhaps? The kernels seem to run
fine afterward, but things like SSH seem to be a bit slower
(qualtitatively, I havent checked any hard numbers for it).

Anyway here's what I get, should I be concerned about this?

Try to load one of the modules which show the problem, does
it work?  If so, it is a bug in depmod's handling of these
".foo" symbols.

Yep the module loaded fine. Must be a problem with depmod then. Thanks for
the info!

caladan:~# modprobe ip_conntrack
caladan:~# lsmod

ip_conntrack           19840   0  (unused)
