gcc 3.0.3 didn't work either (I don't feel that's the problem)

2.4.16 did the same thing, except it was in char.o

I tried to link the kernel by removing arch/alpha/kernel/kernel.o and
replacing with the actual files.  the error is in arch/alpha/kernel/srm_env.o

I really need something to work as I have a DAC960 controller that I want to
try.
