You continue not to get it. In this context, DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME has been set because assemble_external has been called on the symbol. assemble_external is *not* a no-op on ia64. It emits a directive to the assembly output, using the name of the symbol. It is *not* safe to rename the symbol after that has happened. That you are not seeing a problem on ia64-linux is either because GAS isn't as picky as the reference assembler, or because your test case is not stringent enough. zw -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17982
