Subj: 	kernel link help with ase v1.3 build (ptliteos.bl2 kernel)

Kernel build folks, there's a build problem in the ase13os build, which
is based on the ptliteos.bl2 src's & tools.  The build logfile
ase13os/Logs/kernel.bld.log contains the following error:

Can anyone offer any help/suggestions?  thanks...		-josh

It has a bug in handling the trampoline code. I believe that someone is working on getting it CLD'd so a patch can be generated. Until then, a fix is to snag a PLATINUM linker from somewhere. -- Andrew L. Duane DTN 381-1294 [email protected] USG Kernel Scalability alpha::duane ZKO3-3/U14

You must not have to remove much if you just started seeing this.
