another binutils-2.8.1 bug?

another binutils-2.8.1 bug?

[Toshiyasu Morita]

  Host: i386-linux
Target: m68k-linux
  Tool: binutils-2.8.1 ld using m68k-elf

I seem to have found a bug in binutils-2.8.1. The linker fails to find
a reference to "putpacket()" even though it is contained in one of the
object files.

Here's the output:

m68k-linux-ld -m m68kelf -T /usr/src/linux-sun3-2.1.72/arch/m68k/vmlinux-sun3.lds
 -N arch/m68k/kernel/head.o init/main.o init/version.o \

-o vmlinux -M > ld.lst

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
[root@piglet linux]# m68k-linux-objdump --syms arch/m68k/kernel/kernel.o | grep putpacket
000085d4 l     F .text  000000ac putpacket
[root@piglet linux]#

I have uploaded the files necessary to replicate this problem to:

Doesn't 'l' mean "local"?
