Error: ./fs/quota_v2.o .opd refers to 0000000000000020 R_PPC64_ADDR64    .exit.text

Been carrying this for some time in Red Hat trees.

For our future {in}sanity, add a comment that this is the ppc .opd
section, not the ia64 .opd section.  ia64 .opd should not point to
discarded sections.

Any idea why ppc .opd points to discarded sections when ia64 does not?
AFAICT no ia64 object has a useful .opd section, they are all empty or
(sometimes) a dummy entry which is 1 byte long.  ia64 .opd data is
built at link time, not compile time.

GCC 4 emits more DWARF debugging information than before and there is now a
.debug_loc section as well.  This causes "make buildcheck" to fail.  Rather
than just add that one to the special case list, I used a regexp to ignore
any .debug_ANYTHING sections in case more show up in the future.

I should not have added init.text test here;
it's more than useless, it actually degrades the output.

Reduce noise in 'make buildcheck' that is caused by CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
