Seems to happen with 3.3,3.4,
Short test case courtesy of A.Pinski:
static void __attribute__ ((__section__ (".init.text"))) pci_fixup_i450nx(void)
{ }
static int __attribute__ ((__section__ (".init.text")))
toshiba_ohci1394_dmi_table[] = { };
causes with gcc (without -O2);
t.c:4: error: toshiba_ohci1394_dmi_table causes a section type conflict
(the longer test case which I attach shows it with optimization
too)
On the big file the actual function (it has a lot of these) depends
on optimization level and compiler version
