egcs-1.1b on sco-3.2v5.0.4 gcc/pic/libgcc.a with mixed COFF and ELF files?

It may be incorrect.   I'm unsure of the rules of this game.

[ Things from libgcc1.a are COFF. ] 


The Makefiles go to a considerable amount of effort to be sure that
libgcc1 components are _not_ built by the compiler being built.  In the
OpenServer case with native cc, t his means libgcc1 is COFF.  This sure
looks intentional to me.

The OSR5 linker does DTRT when mixing simple COFF and ELF functions like
this.

Is this actually causing you a problem, or is this just an observed oddity?
