HPPA elf64 binutils problem

[Shawn Starr]

I finally managed to build gcc using cross-binutils (I just had to get the
hppa 64bit crt0.o and friends from the HP itself).

Using binutils 2.11.2 I get the following bomb when building newlib using
a the cross-compiler of gcc 3.00 (from amodra's cvs patches/code):

../../../../../../newlib-1.9.0/newlib/libc/machine/hppa/pcc_prefix.s:361:

Did I build bintuils wrong?
