Thanks for the tip, but I think I've already solved this by renaming the
sections used in include/asm/init.h from ".text.init" to ".text_init" to avoid
the namespace clash which would happen if compiling a function named "init()".
I've also made the corresponding change in arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds, and added
*(.text.*) and (*.data.*) to the .text and .data output sections respectively.
That oughta do it, unless I've missed something...

Thanks,
Graham
