GNU as and --gstabs

[Ulrich Hobelmann]

i just compiled the new binutils, but still as chunks out the same error
message:

$ as --gstabs -o bar.o bar.s
bar.s: Assembler messages:
bar.s:7: Error: local label "0" (instance number 0 of a dollar label) is
not defined

where bar.s =
----------------------------------------------------------------
.text
        .align 4

.global _start
_start:
        xorl %eax,%eax
        call exit
----------------------------------------------------------------
The same happens with an empty file, or with a simple
'int main (void) { return 0; }'
precompiled by 'gcc -O2 -S foo.c'. A file that works for some reason is:
----------------------------------------------------------------.text
        .align 4

.global exit
exit:                                   /* eax = exit-code */
        movl %eax,%ebx
        movl $1,%eax                    /* _exit */
        int $0x80
----------------------------------------------------------------
The line number mentioned by as is always the last number in the file...
