Dave,

When compiling glibc on magnum with gcc-4.6 I get an odd failure about
section type conflicts.

The following is the reduced test case:

carlos@magnum:~/build/glibc$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/hppa-linux-gnu/4.6/lto-wrapper
Target: hppa-linux-gnu

4.6.3-1' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs

Attached is the original unreduced file as rtld.tar.bz2 (modified
slightly to work standalone because glibc uses `-include' on the
command line).

Attached is the multi-delta reduced file as rtld-reduced.i.

Have you seen this before with gcc 4.6?

I'll be poking at this later, but I thought you might have seen this
so I'm posting to the list.

I know that Gentoo/hppa has already seen this issue, but not posted a solution.

Comments?
