Description dan 2001-07-02 16:36:00 UTC 
mips_output_lineno emits stabn directives like this:
$LM5:
        .stabn  68,0,7,$LM5

But now that current binutils have MIPS_STABS_ELF turned on, they
expect the address to be relative (i.e. $LM5-main).

Release:
gcc-3.0

Environment:
Native compiler for mipsel-linux, or cross from i386-linux to mipsel-linux.
Comment 1 dan 2001-07-02 16:36:00 UTC 
Fix:
Either binutils/gdb or gcc needs to be changed; we may have to autoconf
guesstest for the version of GAS being used and whether gas is being used at all.  Ugh.

Hello,

could the submitter please verify whether this problem still occurs with gcc 3.3? Compiling and 
assembling for mipsel-linux with -g works fine for me, though with a cross-compiler, I don't have 
a way to test the executable...

Thanks,

Dara

Fixed in recent GCC/binutils combinations.
