Reply from HJ Lu about gcc/binutils interaction problem...
After much investigation, I tend to agree with him. I'll see if I can
find the point where things broke and start from there (I keep all alpha
gcc versions that I compile for upload, so this should be easy :-P).
I'll also start flipping through the code again in case it's easy to spot
(which it might be).

I believe it is a gcc bug since the asm output doesn't look right
Basically, those debug line lables should be their own section, not
in .text. Gcc 3.0 has fixed it.
