SUMMARY: 5.1B bug/feature with ld?

I wrote earlier complaining that when a ".a" archive is linked with
a kernel module, strange symbols (__exc_remove_gp_range, __exc_*)
are added to the resulting object, preventing it from being loaded
into the kernel.

According to a helpful source inside HP who looked at my problem:

  Yes it is indeed a bug with the V5.1B linker.

  The result is that you cannot put kernel object files into
  a ".a" archive. We will get a fix out but it may take a while
  before a fix is officially available.

Cheers,
