[PATCH 0.0/4 v2] GAS symbol/label annotation

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Hi,

 While testing microMIPS changes I have noticed several problems with 
microMIPS symbols/labels related to symbol annotation, the special "dot" 
symbol and relaxation.  As some of these problems apply to MIPS16 or 
generic code I have split these changes off and I am submitting them 
separately.  The corresponding microMIPS changes will be included with the 
actual microMIPS patch.  All these problems are covered by the 
"branch-self" testcase included with the last patch in this series.

 This is the second revision of all the changes originally submitted in 
July, taking your concerns as well any issues I have meanwhile discovered 
myself into account.  As originally, I will be commenting on each patch 
separately with the corresponding submission.

 All these changes have passed regression testing on mips-sde-elf and 
mips-linux-gnu targets, as well as -- because of the generic nature of 
some of these changes -- on an arbitrarily chosen limited selection of 
i686-elf, m68k-elf and powerpc-linux-gnu targets.
