uninitialized global symbols are not relocated

[sujata gaddemane]

Hi,

I am using 2.4.2 linux on MIPS platform. 
I am facing problem in loading a module. When trying to
build a module out of multiple .o 's global uninitialised
variables are not getting relocated in the kernel
which leads to panic.

I am using cross compiler version egcs-mips-linux-1.1.2-3
egcs-mips-linux-1.1.2.3
and modutils version modutils-2.4.2.

The followng is a section from /proc/ksyms after insmod

I have marked the symbols which are not relocated.

Any info in this regard will be very helpful.

Thanks,
