Headline:

Below are the messages that you may see when building a new kernel.

Defect or Error Messages:

Compiling /stand/build/conf.c...

Loading the kernel...

(Warning) Optimizing ADDILs in the presence of the debug information.

Debug information may be corrupted (1594)

Generating kernel symbol table...

Explanation:

This message does not cause any problems. There technically is no fix to this issue. It turns out that

any binary can cause 'ld' to emit the 'debug corruption' warning when performance and debug

bits are intermingled. Though 32bit binaries will probably exhibit this behavior potentially more

than 64bit ones, because 64bit 'ld' deals with this issue differently. The kernel in this case is ok,

because it is expected that performance bits for most of it's .o's will intermingled with a select

number of .o's which are built that way for Q4 crash coredump
