I just submitted a patch to undo the rejecting of zero-length symbol names;
however, as said before, while this addresses the immediate issue reported here
I continue to believe that stuff like
.file "hash#"
.file "_underscore"
.file "UPPER"
.file "lower"
all should give consistent entries in the object file's symbol table, no matter
what target architecture they're used on. Getting this right, however, requires
avoiding save_symbol_name (or undoing its effects), implying avoiding/undoing
any treatment tc_canonicalize_symbol_name might apply/have applied.
(Alternatively, tc_canonicalize_symbol_name could be given a way to know it's
dealing with a file name, so as to allowing it to decide whether do do anthing
special here, but I don't think that'd be the right solution; after all, file
names only depend on file system conventions, not on processor architecture
[leaving aside that certain file systems may only exist on certain
architectures]).
