You need to update as from CVS binutils.  The key change is

2001-03-30  Alan Modra  <alan@linuxcare.com.au>

        * dwarf2dbg.c (dwarf2_directive_file): Fix warnings.
        (dwarf2dbg_convert_frag): Pass `finalize_syms' to resolve_symbol_value.
        * config/obj-aout.c (obj_crawl_symbol_chain): Likewise.
        * config/obj-bout.c (obj_crawl_symbol_chain): Likewise.
        * config/obj-coff.c (do_relocs_for): Likewise.
