Strange behavior (bug?)

[Alkis G. Polyzotis]

       Apologies if this was reported before. Since I am not on the
mailing list, please Cc me the reply. TIA.

       I am trying to compile using egcs v.1.01 and I get a strange
error from the assembler:

(401) milos ~/tales/test >make test
g++ -I../include    -c test.cc -o test.o
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/cca005o3.s", line 9377: error: can't compute value of an expression involving an external symbol
make: *** [test.o] Error 1

      When I use the -g flag, the compile stage works fine, but I get
an error from the linker:

(403) milos ~/tales/test >make CXXFLAGS=-g
g++ -g -I../include   -c test.cc -o test.o
g++   test.o   -o test
ld: warning: file test.o: relocation against external symbol `<unknown>'
        from a non-allocatable section `.stab'
        cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored
