1.7.9.5

Good Morning,

This is my proposed patch for the issue noted in section 6.4 of Ticket-917.

The comment in Ticket-917 about the .size directive in 6.11 was previously submitted as Ticket-876.
The following has a discussion and fix that I was able to apply to ARM - http://manulix.wikidot.com/build-howto#toc11
This appears to be fixed in uClibc 0.9.33. I am having difficulty getting thru a complete MIPS build.
For MIPS w/ uClibc 0.9.31 I get the .size directive issue - but the fix that works for ARM doesn't apply.
For MIPS w/ uClibc 0.9.33 it won't compile - http://ibot.rikers.org/%23uclibc/20120208.html.gz

I did some testing this weekend to see if busybox defconfig would work
I was succesful with arm/little and i386 after making minor tweaks to the uClibc configs. 
The following gives a good description of the issue I saw and the fix:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=16108&p=166593

Unfortunately these are not the default settings in uClibc defconfig.

Sincerely,
Kirk Terrell
