I believe this fix is necessary regardless of whether my patch to
coff-arm.c is applied or not. The problem only appears with 64 bit
integers. May be it is the only case when gcc produces the 'adr'
pseudo-instruction. So, it was easy to miss the bug.

What is true? The incompatibility?
I don't know the history of the code and WinCE evolution.
Moreover, I'm using 4.2 version of WinCE.

As I noted in previous message, there are more places with similar fixes
inside tc-arm.c. BTW, it was you who committed the fixes several years
ago. (See diff between 1.32 and 1.33 versions of tc-arm.c, for example).

Unfortunately, currently I don't have enough time to investigate the
better place for the fixes. I can only confirm that rather huge code
base (including various tests for different kinds of integers, etc.) is
compiled with patched arm-wince-pe tools. And it works almost fine after
linking using MS linker into WinCE executable. (Remaining issues that I
have may not be related to gcc/binutils at all).


...Bye..Dmitry.
