strace vs. binutils

[Florian Lohoff <flo@rfc822.org>]

Hmmm,
it seems the binutils are much worse ...


gcc -Wall -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I. -Ilinux/mips -I./linux/mips -Ilinux -I./linux -D_GNU_SOURCE  -c syscall.c
syscall.c:193: warning: `sorted_count' defined but not used
gcc  -o strace strace.o version.o syscall.o util.o desc.o file.o ipc.o io.o ioctl.o mem.o net.o process.o bjm.o resource.o signal.o sock.o system.o term.o time.o proc.o stream.o -lnsl
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
syscall.o: In function `call_summary':
syscall.c(.data+0x10118): undefined reference to `sys_vm86'
/usr/bin/ld: bfd assertion fail elf32-mips.c:5100
make: *** [strace] Error 1


The function in question doesnt contain of a single line - Everything
uncommented ...

(root@localhost)/data/deb/strace-4.0# ld -v
GNU ld version 2.8.1 (with BFD 2.8.1)

New diff which compiles is at

ftp://ftp.rfc822.org/pub/local/strace-mips/strace-4.0-mips-2.diff.gz

Some things are unclear to me so this ONLY compiles (Does not link 
and probably run)
