If you have encountered a similar problem to the following:

insmod: error inserting '/home/alsa/drivers/snd.ko': -1 Invalid module format

Dmesg | tail says:

snd: unknown relocation: 40

For drivers that you built with a crosstool rather than on the hardware itself, 
apparently there is a bug in the kernel.  This link describes it in more detail:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/15546/

I have patched the 2.6.21-ts kernel and I can now load the drivers that were 
built on a crosstool.  Kris at TS confirmed there is a potential problem and 
had me verify with their crosstool.

Another web reference talked about binutils after 2.18 having a problem but 
apparently 2.18 has some sort of problem with EABI and 2.20 didn't help.  The 
above patch seems to work fine.
