Sorry for the network bandwidth... I tried reaching Todd Vierling directly
for several weeks now, but for some reason, I did not get any answer...
I assume there must be a technical email problem somewhere...
I also checked the netbsd toolchain mailing list around that period without
being able to find a clue.
I am trying to reach Todd Vierling about a configuration change
for egcs netbsd that was logged under his name:
Wed Jul 29 23:49:23 1998 Todd Vierling <tv@netbsd.org>
* configure.in: Use xm-netbsd.h as the NetBSD xm file (not xm-siglist).
Accept arm32 as arm, m68k4k as m68k, mipsle as mips-dec, and any
manufacturer id for ns32k.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config/netbsd.h: When using ASM_WEAKEN_LABEL, make it global too.
* config/t-netbsd: Don't compile libgcc1-test as the fns are in libc.
* config/i386/netbsd.h: Undefine DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO, not define as 0.
* config/m68k/netbsd.h: Same.
* config/ns32k/netbsd.h: Same.
* config/sparc/netbsd.h: Same.
The part I'm wondering about is
* config/netbsd.h: When using ASM_WEAKEN_LABEL, make it global too.
as far as I can tell, netbsd only uses binutils flavors where
.weak & .globl are mutually disjunctive properties...
So I really want to know what prompted that change. I assume there is
some weird configuration where things fail atrociously when not having
this .globl present, and I would like to check whether this also affects
OpenBSD or not.
