Hi Fabian,
as.exe --defsym PPC603=1 ...
file:
.set PPC603, 1 # or PPC603 = 1
file:32: Error: symbol `PPC603' is already defined
The docs states:
"You may .set a symbol many times in the same assembly."
http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.17/as/Set.html#Set
Although the docs never promise that --defsym will behave in the same
way as .set.
So know is that a bug?
Not a bug as such, more of a mis-feature. Please could you try out the
attached patch which I think will resolve the problem for you.
Cheers
Nick
