	NetBSD thirdoffive 1.3H NetBSD 1.3H (CURRENT) #6: Tue Oct  6 19:57:49 PDT 1998     chas@thirdoffive:/usr/current/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/CURRENT mac68k



>Description:
	gcc is emitting .type directives following by <TAB><SPACE><SYMBOL>
	this confuses gas.new (see app.c, the comments about state 9 and
	10)
	
	why am i using gas.new with the old gcc?  i dont know i must be 
	nuts, but i would like to verify the proper operation of gas.new
	against a known compiler.

>How-To-Repeat:
	run the following through gas.new:

        #NO_APP
	.text
	.globl __obstack_begin
	.type   __obstack_begin,@function

	(make sure its:  .type<TAB><SPACE>__obstack...)

	then, % nm -p a.out
	 U __obstack_begin
	 U 

	you get a strange 'empty' symbol.

	

>Fix:
	you could fix gas.new, but that would be much harder than fixing
	gcc.
	apply the following diff to /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gcc/arch/netbsd.h
