Re: patch was: dwarf2 debug dependent upon GAS?

   This is irrelevant to your patch, but on Linux the local symbols do show up
   in the symbol table, as I remembered; I always filter nm output as a
   result.  This may be a gas thing.  Any gas folk care to comment?

Yes, there is some bad interaction going on, I believe related to
debugging references to local symbols in non-standard sections.  The
assembler is not converting them into relocs against a section symbol
for some reason.  I've never gotten around to looking into it.
