--- Comment #1 from Ramana Radhakrishnan <ramana at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-06-14 11:31:55 UTC --- It looks like a linker error but ... Hmmm with a later version of gcc 4.6 branch that I have lying around the same example doesn't spew out such error messages. I don't have a 4.6.0 build handy to try this. I seem to be running binutils 2.21.51.20110525 FTR. cheers Ramana
