Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.section'


hi!

I'm getting this error when compiling GCC 3.2.1 under NetBSD. Note that
this only happens when crosscompiling, otherwise the build works fine.
I'm not sure if the problem is in GAS or in GCC's CRT stuff, so i'm posting
to both bug-binutils and gcc-help.

The host system has GCC 3.2.1 either, and a recent binutils CVS snapshot
(20030607).

Error log follows:

Doing some search i found this message [1] which seems to indicate there
was a bug in binutils that could cause this, but that's suposed to be
fixed now as the bug dates on 23 Mar 1998.

any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
