gcc-20000114 ix86 -fdata-sections

[Alan Modra]

When running the ld testsuite using gcc-20000114, I encounter an error due
to missing ".data." from a section name.

/usr/tmp/ccIanSm2.s: Assembler messages:
/usr/tmp/ccIanSm2.s:72: Fatal error: Symbol dropme2 already defined.


$ cat /usr/tmp/zzz.i
# 1 "/usr/src/binutils-current/ld/testsuite/ld-selective/1.c"
 

void _start() __asm__("_start");
void _start()
{
}

void dropme1()
{
}

int dropme2[102] = { 0 };

$ gcc -S -w -O2 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -g -O2 -W -Wall \
 /usr/tmp/zzz.i -o old.s
