This makes modules closer to each other, so,
net/socket.c:348: relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_11H_PCREL against
`.text'+2930

But still the module is too big for AVR to do some jumps.

Here I stop investigating it. I had been proposed to get rid of avr32
completely, burden to support is just increasing (no Buildroot support,
no Gcc support, what else do we need?) for no value.

+                       neighbour.o rtnetlink.o utils.o link_watch.o \
                        sock_diag.o dev_ioctl.o tso.o sock_reuseport.o
 
 obj-$(CONFIG_XFRM) += flow.o

Well I've reverted your patch and tested on avr32 and all tests
worked successfully. Thanks to Guenter again for helping with his
testbed once again!
