AFAI can see this is in no way related to dbxelf.h. It's used in final.c 
and I can see a definition in svr3.h with a differing comment:

/* We want local labels to start with period if made with asm_fprintf.  */
#undef LOCAL_LABEL_PREFIX
#define LOCAL_LABEL_PREFIX "."

So what are you trying to fix here?

Franz.
