Just because -dc isn't necessary for some modules doesn't mean it's
not needed in general. Try the sound driver, for example. insmod
will not like it without -dc.

Ok, i fixed these. I thought gcc generates references to
__memcpy/__memset, but instead it calls memcpy/memset. This means
there is a bug someplace since the kernel symbols exported in
arch/alpha/ksyms.c do not get versioned. Or is that the point of the
arch-dependent ksyms.c? I'd love to know.

It depends on your configuration. People with tapes don't like
turning DISCONNECT off. The right fix is to get DISCONNECT working.
