[Bug gas/4713] New: obj-elf.c fails to compile on IRIX 5.3

[ro at TechFak dot Uni-Bielefeld dot DE]

I tried to build binutils from CVS as of 20070629, but compilation failed:

/vol/gcc-3.4/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I/vol/gnu/src/binutils/binutils-dist/gas -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -I.
-I/vol/gnu/src/binutils/binutils-dist/gas -I../bfd

/vol/gnu/src/binutils/binutils-dist/gas/config/obj-elf.c:1698: warning: no
previous prototype for 'elf_ecoff_set_ext'
make[4]: *** [obj-elf.o] Error 1

The prototype for elf_ecoff_set_ext is present in obj-elf.h, but protected
by !defined(OBJ_MAYBE_ELF).  One could changed this to add ||
defined(NEED_ECOFF_DEBUG), but this is only defined after obj-elf.h is 
included via as.h.  I'm unsure how to best fix this maze of includes and 
defines.

binutils 2.17 compiles fine on this platform, but has several problems
as mentioned in
