: Hi,
:   Host: Alpha Linux RedHat 5.0
:   Target: ARM Linux
:   Problem: Constant greater than 2^32 generated in assembler file
:   Suspected cause: Converting a -1 to 2^32 and then propogating the value.

Hmm, I get the right output from the coff toolchain:

   [snip]

  .L6:
	.word	_x
	.word	_y+5080
  .L3:
  .L1:

This is from:

  @ GNU C version cygnus-2.91.00 971101 (gcc2-971021 experimental) (arm-acorn-coff) compiled by GNU C version 2.7-97r1.

so maybe it is a problem with the linux part of the egcs backend.  I
will try creating such a toolchain and see if I can reproduce the
problem.

Cheers
