GAS 2.11.1 doesn't work for sh-hitachi-coff

[John Lowen]

I had problems trying to build GCC because DWARF2 debug information was being generated and my scripts were failing. This is probably part of the problem. I ended up resorting to building sh-elf and this was a suitable configuration for me and built without any problems. Just thought I would mention this tidbit. I posted a message at the time on gcc-help.
