I forgot to mention: I think it'll turn that offset back into a line-number
if you generate debug info (-g). But I'm not 100% about that.

This might be the problem: .la files are linker scripts and usually contain
full paths to the .a files they're referencing. If you didn't build this
yourself, or if you moved these files around the disk, then the .la file
might contain a bad path which is confusing GNU ld. I can't remember if the
Sun linker uses .las or if it's just a GNU linker thing.

Have you tried using the Sun linker to link the GCC output?
