Yeah it was the best I could do.. older binutils have some issue and figured a warning was better than it not functioning at all.
Hm... previous experience with ld has made me extremely suspicious about ld warnings. They all turn into subtle, but nasty errors sooner or later.
I think we should find a solution that does without such warnings.
If this is impossible in the remaining time (given the late state in the release cycle) I think it is better to back out the patch that causes the problem, and try to solve this wil less pressure in the next release.
