>Description:
in the configure script for gnu mp - conftes1.c and conftes2.s compiled togeather.  mips-tfile fails when the compile line contains the files in this order.  Reversing the filenames leads to success.  I feel that this is odd, and likely buggy.
------------------------------------------
conftes1.c
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" { void underscore_test(); }
#endif
main () { underscore_test(); }
-------------------------------------------
conftes2.s
        .text
        .globl underscore_test
        underscore_test:
-------------------------------------------
>How-To-Repeat:
gcc conftes2.s conftes1.c works
gcc conftes1.c conftes2.s does not
>Fix:
workaround, ensure files are in other order.
