Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'kthreadd' and 'init_waitqueue_head')

[John Sigler <linux.kernel@free.fr>]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a 2.6.22.1-rt9 kernel for a P3.

I used 'make xconfig' to create .config
http://linux.kernel.free.fr/latency/config-2.6.22.1-rt9-adlink

I get the following warning:

  LD      vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  SYSMAP  .tmp_System.map
  MODPOST vmlinux

I also get the following warnings (which seem less severe)

Finally, I note that X86_CMPXCHG64 is no longer defined since its 
specification was changed between 2.6.20 and 2.6.22.

 config X86_CMPXCHG64
    bool
-   depends on !M386 && !M486
+   depends on X86_PAE
    default y

Will this have an impact on spinlocks? RCU? something else?

Regards.
