Hello,

I've discovered an annoying quirk in egcs 1.1.1. If I attempt to compile
file 'alpha.c' with optimization enabled (-O, -O2, -O3), and this file
only contains constants ('const int beta = 4;'), the resulting object
file does not contain the constant symbols (verified by running 'nm
alpha.o' and trying to link against alpha.o). However, if I compile
with optimization disabled, the constant symbols do appear in the object
file and I can link against alpha.o.

Has anyone else noticed this problem with egcs? 


Brian
