kdb doesn't compile with KDB modules with gcc 3.4.1 toolchain

[Steven Dake]

I couldn't get kdb to compile with KDB modules set to * (but m works). 
I traced it to the linker script not properly setting up the init call
table.  The patch is:

Description:
The KDB init call section is not properly setup in the linker script. 
This patch sets up the init call linker start location so that the
object tools can build the kernel with KDB modules turned on.
