It looks like a case of one-too-many underscores prepended to symbol names. The default for ELF is to not prepend an underscore. The default for COFF is to prepend an underscore. Check USER_LABEL_PREFIX which should be empty for ELF (default definition in defaults.h file). Check ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF which should use %U and not an explicit underscore (see defaults.h file). Check for usage of the -fleading-underscores option (should not be used). Check for header file inclusion to see if something is out of place, such as a use of svr3.h when svr4.h should be used.
Also check to make sure that gcc, gas, and gld all agree on whether a symbol is prepended with an underscore or not. If gcc does it but gas doesn't, then C code calling assembly language code may fail because of the mismatch.
