In the bugzilla PR you reference, there are links to the gcc-patches thread: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-11/msg00120.html which itself refers to a thread on the gdb list: http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2007-10/msg00205.html Now, if you're refering to this hunk of the change: --- trunk/gcc/dwarf2out.c 2007/11/04 04:34:47 129881 +++ trunk/gcc/dwarf2out.c 2007/11/04 14:43:45 129882 @@ -11356,7 +11356,8 @@ && TREE_PUBLIC (decl) && DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME (decl) != DECL_NAME (decl) && !DECL_ABSTRACT (decl) - && !(TREE_CODE (decl) == VAR_DECL && DECL_REGISTER (decl))) + && !(TREE_CODE (decl) == VAR_DECL && DECL_REGISTER (decl)) + && !is_fortran ()) add_AT_string (die, DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name, IDENTIFIER_POINTER (DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME (decl))); } well, it looks like it wasn't approved, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a something I had testing in my tree that I inadvertently committed at the time. Sorry about that. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40040
