H8300-elf-as: DWARF problem: length of .debug_line is zero

[Nitin Gupta, Noida]

Hi,
	The section length and prologue length of the .debug_line 
	of the object file generated by h8300-elf-as is zero.

	I'm using 
		gcc 3.1.1
		binutils 1.12
		newlib 1.10.0.

	GCC seems to be generating the correct labels for the 
	start and end of debug_line section and its prologue. 
	But the assembler  emits zero for both.
	
	I have seen this happening with
		h8300-elf on linux
		h8300-elf-mingw32msvc under Win 2000

	During linking h8300-elf-ld fixes both fields. The
	length field is correct in the executable however 
	the prologue length is still wrong.

	Please let me know if further details are required to 
	reproduce this problem.
Regards.
Nitin.
