Re: unresolved dwarf references

[Robert Lipe <robertl at dgii dot com>]

Actually, this problem exists on Linux/x86, too.  The reason it doesn't
so up there is they use stabs by default instead of dwarf.   

The same command with pathnames adjusted on Linux fails in a similar way
if you exchange -g for -gdwarf1 or -gdwarf2.    The label itself differs, 
but the basic failure is the same.

$ sh c
(robertl) rjlinux:/net/rjlhome/home/play/legcs/gcc
$ sh c -gdwarf1
/tmp/cca033721.o(.debug+0x11a): undefined reference to `L_T876'

/tmp/cca033791.o(.debug+0x84e1): more undefined references to `L_T6135' follow
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Hope this helps.

'./c' looks like this (with paths adjusted)

The surrounding code in the assembly output are all variations of the
same as we saw on OpenServer:
