Bummer. Confirmed, if I replace "@h" with "@high" in just one place,
the builds pass with binutils 2.24. Unfortunately the same builds then
fails with binutils 2.23.
Any idea how to get it to compile with both old and new versions ?
Is there some predefined constant which I could possibly use for
something like
.if as_version_below_2.24_
oris reg,reg,(expr)@h;
.else
oris reg,reg,(expr)@high;
.endif
Thanks,
Guenter
