    I'm having strange problems with 2.4.0-test2 (and test3-pre1):

    - Failures to build working modular kernels with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y.
      Symbol versions are not expanded in the kernels symbol table, i.e.
      __generic_copy_from_user_R__ver__generic_copy_from_user
      and so on. Symbol versions are expanded in modules, however,
      so attempts to load modules fail with symbol mismatches.
      (Yes, I _did_ make mrproper and dep.)

    - Occasional failures in the dynamic linker when starting
      applications. The error message is:
      BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 57: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!

    These problems often occur when I'm using 2.4.0-test2 to rebuild itself.
    The initial 2.4.0-test2 (built from 2.2.17pre9 or 2.4.0-test1) seems
    to work ok.

    I don't suspect HW or user-space (RH6.2 + updates + gcc 2.95.2),
    since 2.4.0-test1 and 2.2.17pre9 work just fine, as have most
    other kernel versions done.

    Any ideas?
