It turns out that many compilers don't show section warnings on ARM
currently because handling for ARM_CALL relocs are missing from
modpost.c.
Based on commit c2e26114 ([ARM] 3205/1: Handle new EABI relocations when
loading kernel modules) it seems that R_ARM_PC24, R_ARM_CALL and
R_ARM_JUMP24 can be handled the same way.
As modpost.c includes elf.h, we need to also consider that at least
Debian libc6-dev is missing defines for both R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_JUMP24
in /usr/include/elf.h.
So for now let's just use the numbers in modpost.c.

Anybody got better ideas for dealing with the missing elf.h

Huh, even unstable's /usr/include/elf.h doesn't have these symbols.

Maybe:
#ifndef R_ARM_CALL
#warning "you're elf.h include is outdated"
#define R_ARM_CALL 28
#endif

"You are elf.h include is outdated" does not make sense.
Why are you calling Tony an elf.h include?

Because he knew it would attract the attention of pedants to the patch?
:)
Just do the #ifndef, and skip the warning. There's not much the poor
user receiving the warning can do about it.

Assuming your ack applies for this patch below, let me know if that's
not the case.

Subject: [PATCH] modpost: Fix section warnings for ARM for many compilers
It turns out that many compilers don't show section warnings on ARM
currently because handling for ARM_CALL relocs are missing from
modpost.c.
Based on commit c2e26114 ([ARM] 3205/1: Handle new EABI relocations when
loading kernel modules) it seems that R_ARM_PC24, R_ARM_CALL and
R_ARM_JUMP24 can be handled the same way.
Note that at least Debian libc6-dev is missing defines for both
R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_JUMP24 in /usr/include/elf.h. So for now
we need to define them in modpost.c if not defined.
