I've just looked at that post and it seems that there are a lot of
regular symbols that start with '.' on powerpc (see:
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/nm-n.txt ).
I guess the best solution would be to change the patch to use that
filter only when the target architecture is h8300, so that it doesn't
mess with other architectures.
