I already sent the author modutils small bug-report. Unfortunately, the answer
was not.
I dream, that after such command:
objcopy -x --remove-section=.note --remove-section=.comment any_kernel_module.o
which gives a prize in size on a disk for modules `insmod' did not drop out in
core.
A mistake obviously heavy, I could not understand the reason as it is strongly
fastened on
format Elf itself.
But "objcopy -x any_kernel_module.o" worked, (my howto,
I not look this metod in another howto ;))
