Hi Zhigang,

  Hmm.  I am basically using the same or very similar sources as you. 
All the sources are from checkouts from the various CVS repositories on 
8 Sept 2005.  The versions are binutils v2.16.91, gcc v4.1.0, and newlib 
v1.13.0.  I also configured my toolchain in the same way as you, 
although I did not bother to install it.  I just ran the test using the 
built toolchain.

Ah - well now this is very interesting!  So keeping the same version of 
binutils but reverting back to an older version of gcc solves the 
problem, yes ?  This does tend to imply that the problem might be a gcc 
bug not a binutils bug.  I also note that I am using gcc version 4.1.0 
sources whereas you are using gcc versions 4.0.1 sources, so maybe this 
is a gcc bug which has been fixed in the latest gcc sources...

Cheers
