problem building glibc-2.3.2 with gcc-3.4.0 andbinutils-2.15.90.0.3 for m68k

[C Jaiprakash, Noida]

Hi,
  I also had ran into same problem while building glibc, however I think problem is at following line
#,"a",@progbits in below assembly. 

#APP
        .section .gnu.warning.sigstack
        .previous
#NO_APP
        .section        .gnu.warning.sigstack;
        #,"a",@progbits 

I just tried removing it, assemblt dont complain after that. This is coming from this defines in glibc

/* Tacking on "\n\t#" to the section name makes gcc put it's bogus
   section attributes on what looks like a comment to the assembler.  */
#  ifdef HAVE_SECTION_QUOTES
#   define __sec_comment "\"\n\t#\""
#  else
#   define __sec_comment "\n\t#"
#endif
#  endif

I am not sure where this should be fixed, though comment above says that this should appear as comment to assembler. But for m68k it is not appearing as a comment.

No, gas is actually complaining about line 547 (it does not properly count
lines in #APP/#NO_APP sections).  See the thread starting at
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2004-04/msg00646.html>.
