ld (bfd?) bug: unmatched excluded include in stabs

Not being an expert on STABS, I am not sure if the following question
makes any sense, but I will ask it anyway:  Is this the correct
behaviour for the linker, or should it be ignoring the EXCL gamma.h
when computing the checksum for the BINCL of alfa.h ?

Yes - please send the testcase to the list.  (I assume that it is a
*small* testcase ? :-)
