1.1b generates bad assembler code on Solaris 2.5.1/86

[Richard Sewards]

Hi,

It appears that egcs-1.1b occasionally generates bad assembler code on
x86 Solaris.

If you compile the attached t.cc with

   gcc-egcs1.1b -c -ansi -Wall -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes
                -Wpointer-arith -fcheck-new -O2 -gstabs+ -pipe t.cc

you will get the following errors from the assembler:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:3779: Error: ignoring unrecognized symbol type ""
{standard input}:3780: Error: expected comma after name `' in .size directive
{standard input}:3786: Error: ignoring unrecognized symbol type ""
{standard input}:3787: Error: expected comma after name `' in .size directive

Strangely, the assembler doesn't complain if the -pipe is omitted, but if
you use -S and then try to assemble the .s file it fails.  The offending
assembler code is:

	.stabs "._294:G(0,1)",32,0,12122,0
	.globl .
		.align 4
		.type	.,@object
		.sizw	.,4
	.:
		.zero	4
	.stabs "._295:G(0,1)",32,0,12123,0
	.globl .
		.align 4
		.type	.,@object
		.size	.,4
	.:
		.zero	4

where the ".globl ." above actually contains some binary characters
instead of a symbol name (it shows up in Emacs as "\214.(^H").

I built the compiler on Solaris 2.5.1/86 with gcc 2.8.1.  The
output of "gcc-egcs1.1b -v" is:

Reading specs from
/usr/local.share/egcs/1.1b/H-i386-pc-solaris2.5.1/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.5.1/egcs-2.91.57/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release)

and I am using the GNU assembler 2.9.1.

Thanks,
