Subject: Re: Fatal error assembling jsr for Alpha ECOFF

Actually no: the native assembler assembles this just fine:
$ as -o jsr.o jsr.s
$ objdump -d jsr.o
jsr.o: file format ecoff-littlealpha
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000000000 <.text>:
0: 10 80 7d a7 ldq t12,-32752(gp)
4: 00 40 5b 6b jsr ra,(t12),0x8
8: 1f 04 ff 47 nop
c: 00 00 fe 2f unop
It may be related to the fact that Alpha ELF gas uses explicit relocs
and anything else suffers from bitrot. I'd tried to enable them for the
target, but failed, cf. PR gas/11518.
Thanks.
Rainer

Hmm, the top-level configure disables gas and ld for alpha-dec-osf since 1999.
alpha-linuxecoff prior to commit df26367c793c (ie. prior to 2.24) actually
generated ELF. Poking at this bug a little makes me think alpha-linuxecoff
ought to be marked obsolete.
