More about my report and possible fix

[obry]

Ok, I have found a fix (not the FIX). There is definitly something wrong
in coffgen.c. In function coff_find_nearest_line the check for dwarf2
debugging info is suspicious. Here a simple patch (not right) that does
fix the problem reported.

What do you think ?
