Subject: possible bug in bfd/sunos.c
Date: Tue, 28 May 1996 08:56:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.SV4.3.91.960528101146.13030G-100000@merlin> (raw)

Version binutils-2.6.

I am configured for sparc-rtems which is essentially the same as 
sparc-aout with different CPP_PREDEFINES.  I use the following assembly 
file (cut down to the point of uselessness :) ):

 
        .text
        sethi   %hi(stack_space + 16 * 1024), %g1
        call      _main
 
        .comm   stack_space, 16 * 1024

I then run this script on it:

sparc-rtems-as -o test.o test.s
sparc-rtems-ld test.o

and get the following message:

bfd assertion fail ../../src/bfd/sunos.c:1839

If I delete any line in the file other than the .text, the problem goes 
away.  Is this something I am doing which is stupid?  Is this a real 
problem?  I looked at the source for this problem but (in my usual luck) 
requires real expertise to even read.

I noticed that the assert in question has changed in the latest binutils 
snapshot.  Is this the bug?  If so is there a simple patch for this 
specific problem?

Any assistance is appreciated.
