problem with alpha-coff-osf-as

[Abhijit Ray]

Hi , 
I installed binutils using 'alpha-coff-osf' as the TARGET.
while trying to use the assembler I get the following error..



> alpha-coff-osf-as hello.s
hello.s: Assembler messages:
hello.s:32: Fatal error: unhandled relocation type (null)


what could be the possible cause and how to correct it ? 

Thanks, 
Abhijit
