Comment 23 for bug 1081417

I can confirm that this patch solves some, but not all problems.

I wasn't able to compile LLVM+Clang on Arndale before this patch, but after it I managed to compile and bootstrap it, so big success.

However, the same cannot be said for GCC. While bootstrapping it, I still get the same error message:

gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -I. -I../../../src/libiberty/../include -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wc++-compat -Wstrict-prototypes -pedantic ../../../src/libiberty/simple-object-coff.c -o simple-object-coff.o
../../../src/libiberty/simple-object-coff.c: In function ?simple_object_coff_write_to_file?:

The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.

each build on a different file.

So, by all means, do apply the patch, but that didn't solve the whole issue.
