Subject: -g problem
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 16:30:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <199801142119.AA052762741@typhoon.rose.hp.com> (raw)

GCC is generating incorrect debugging code when -g is used for
i586-go32-msdos.  The following code (from libgcc1-test.c) 

/* Provide functions that some versions of the linker use to default
   the start address if -e symbol is not used, to avoid the warning
   message saying the start address is defaulted.  */
extern void start() __asm__("start");
extern void _start() __asm__("_start");
extern void __start() __asm__("__start");

void start() {}
void _start() {}
void __start() {}

Generates the following assembly if default CFLAGS are used (-O2 -g)
This crashes the assembler and halts the make process when building egcs with

/usr/tmp/cca05269.s: Assembler messages:
/usr/tmp/cca05269.s:500: Fatal error: Symbol _start already defined.

If -g is not specified things work OK, as well as if -gstabs is specified.

As always, any help appreciated.

Andy
