[hppa] binutils will not build shared libraries with external deps?

[Randolph Chung]

Looks like latest binutils CVS (also as of 2.14.90.0.1) cannot build
shared libraries that have external symbols on at least hppa-linux:

tausq@ios:~$ cat blah.c
extern int foo();
int call_foo() { return foo(); }

tausq@ios:~$ gcc -shared -fPIC -o blah.so blah.c
/tmp/ccC3fZeH.o(.text+0x1c): In function `call_foo':
: undefined reference to `foo'

this worked fine on older binutils (e.g. 2.13.90.0.16 worked).

does anyone know what might be broken? this is causing a lot of failures
in the binutils test suite....

thanks,
randolph
