Paul Koning <ni1d at arrl dot net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ni1d at arrl dot net --- Comment #4 from Paul Koning <ni1d at arrl dot net> 2010-10-28 21:22:25 UTC --- At this point pdp11-*-bsd has been removed. It probably could be put back in. The error is caused by the fact that gcc is generating assembly code for the 2BSD unix assembler, but you're feeding it to gas. The "other" assembly format, even though it's called "DEC assembler" is actually the format expected by pdp11-gas. As a workaround you can compile with -mdec-asm. What we really need here is a --with-gnu-as configure switch that tells the pdp11 target code to default to the "dec" (really GNU) assembler format.
