i386-go32

[Joel Sherrill]

Whether or not the name is right, it still does not work in gas-971208 but
did in binutils 2.8.1.  I checked the i386-go32 configuration against
i386-go32-rtems and did not spot anything.  I have tracked the problem
down and it appears that the BFD vector is somehow misspecified.  I have
grep'ed all the configuration files but do not see the problem.  gas
prints a fatal error message because it can't find the target vector.  I
traced it with gdb and found: 

bfd_openw (filename=0x80793b5 "a.out", target=0x8082bc4 "coff-go32")
    at ../../src/bfd/opncls.c:348
348       bfd_set_error (bfd_error_system_call);
(gdb) n
353       nbfd = _bfd_new_bfd ();
(gdb) 
354       if (nbfd == NULL)
(gdb) 
357       target_vec = bfd_find_target (target, nbfd);
(gdb) s

(gdb) s
959         targname = target_name;

964       if (targname == NULL || strcmp (targname, "default") == 0)

976       target = find_target (targname);

(gdb)

(gdb) 
372           free (nbfd);
(gdb) 
373           return NULL;
(gdb) 
377     }
(gdb)

What do I have wrong in one of the configuration files?

Thanks.

Sounds like you are hitting a bug, but I don't know what the problem
is.

The coff-go32 should be defined by compiling bfd/coff-go32.c.  That
should be included if go32coff_vec is in the list of supported
targets.  go32coff_vec is the default target for the i386-go32
configuration.
