Interesting.  I don't see findex.c in the kernel sources anywhere.  It
could be that a very simple module that only accesses variables on the
stack would not need a toc, and maybe in this case the toolchain
doesn't generate a toc.  Could you send me the source of your module
plus the generated findex.ko?

Paul.
