Possible problem with ia64 binutils

[H. J. Lu]

I rebuilt 2.4.21-37.EL ia64 kernel with 20051214 binutils. I got
several problems:

1. vfat kernel module won't load:

# modprobe vfat
/lib/modules/2.4.21-37.EL.1.2/kernel/fs/vfat/vfat.o: init_module:
Invalid argument
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
      /lib/modules/2.4.21-37.EL.1.2/kernel/fs/vfat/vfat.o: insmod
      /lib/modules/2.4.21-37.EL.1.2/kernel/fs/vfat/vfat.o failed
      /lib/modules/2.4.21-37.EL.1.2/kernel/fs/vfat/vfat.o: insmod vfat
      failed

module_arch_init: archdata->segment_base out of bounds.

2. autofs doesn't work:

Dec 16 15:28:47 gnu-12 automount[3723]: mount(nfs): mkdir_path /net/gnu-20/export failed: Operation not permitted
