Hi Catherine,

Sure, I can repost the patch and add the test case I used.
My concern - and I would appreciate feedback from you and others on it - is
that the test I originally used to report [1] the problem creates a large
executable (380 MB).

Here is a variant of it:

/* { dg-do run } */

#include <stdio.h>

#if defined(__GLIBC__) && (__GLIBC__ < 2 || (__GLIBC__ == 2 &&
__GLIBC_MINOR__ < 21))
#define BROKEN
#endif

int
main (void)
{
#ifndef BROKEN
  asm(".fill 100000000, 4, 0x00000000\n");
#endif
  return 0;
}

The test also takes time to execute. Obviously, I can make it slightly more
complex and make execute time short. Another path is to introduce and use
options such as "Wl,-Ttext-segment" to make its size smaller. Any other
ideas?

Regards,
Petar
