Oh, sorry, I misled you there. It is gcc that is generating the .sbss
section. The rule (for 2.8.*, anyway) is that -G 8 is the default if
gas is available, and -G 0 is the default if not (although the info page
says the opposite!). I didn't see this problem on Irix 6 because gas
hasn't been ported to it yet, so there was no .sbss section.
Here comes the patch. I simply added a renaming of the section
to
.zbzz if I had to change it to data. I also added the warning cleanup
you asked for.
Thanks a lot! I probably won't have time to try it out until Monday,
but I will send a success/failure report when I do.
