is that so.
well, it should not be necessary, since we call the kernel top level
make file, which should know best what compiler flags it needs to
compile a kernel module...

do "make clean" and "make V=1" , and find out whether it actually uses
that flag. if it is not, try adding it to the drbd makefile.
add to drbd/Makefile-2.6
CFLAGS += -mcmodel=kernel

iirc someone had a similar problem before on some
redhat 2.6.9-whatever x86_64 ...
funny redhat problem? general x86_64 module loader problem?
maybe only affects out-of-tree modules?
maybe something completely different?
