Hi Josh,

I'm seeing this error being generated on areas that are using a
cross-section exception handler. I can't quite see why the .o checker
is unhappy, so I figured I'd ask you first. :)

The code is generated with calls to __REFCOUNT_CHECK() which is
defined like this:

+#define __REFCOUNT_EXCEPTION(size)                     \
+       ".if "__stringify(size)" == 4\n\t"              \
+       ".pushsection .text.refcount_overflow\n"        \
+       ".elseif "__stringify(size)" == -4\n\t"         \
+       ".pushsection .text.refcount_underflow\n"       \
+       ".else\n"                                       \
+       ".error \"invalid size\"\n"                     \
+       ".endif\n"                                      \
+       "111:\tlea %[counter],%%"_ASM_CX"\n\t"          \
+       "int $"__stringify(X86_REFCOUNT_VECTOR)"\n"     \
+       "222:\n\t"                                      \
+       ".popsection\n"                                 \
+       "333:\n"                                        \
+       _ASM_EXTABLE(222b, 333b)
+
+#define __REFCOUNT_CHECK(size)                         \
+       "js 111f\n"                                     \
+       __REFCOUNT_EXCEPTION(size)
+
+#define __REFCOUNT_ERROR(size)                         \
+       "jmp 111f\n"                                    \
+       __REFCOUNT_EXCEPTION(size)

I assume it doesn't like seeing an exception split across .text and
.text.refcount_overflow, but I haven't been able to figure out how
that distinction would be made by the checker. :P

Thanks!
