I haven't looked at this portion of code for some time, but right now
I can see the following lines in arch/m68knommu/kernel/traps.c:

/* extern e_vector _ramvec[]; */
e_vector *_ramvec = (void *)0;

That means that ramvec definition from r[oa].ld is being ignored.

We'll probably need some cleanup in this area.

Regards,
Vladimir
