When ".set" is used to create the same symbol twice, we get
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ cat t.s
.text
call bar
.section .text1,"ax"
.globl moo
moo:
ret
.globl bar
.set bar,moo
.text
call bar
.section .text1,"ax"
.globl foo
foo:
nop
.globl bar
.set bar,foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ as -o t.o t.s
as: t.o: symbol `bar' required but not present
t.s: Assembler messages:
t.s:16: Fatal error: can't close t.o: No symbols
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$
A better error message will be more helpful.
