I aplied the patch Andrew sent to me and all worked Ok. I only had to
do patching manually. I have rebuilt also gcc-2.81 (to avoid having info about
local labels in libgcc.a and to get rid of some other problems) and C++ libraries
(the size of libstdcxx.a and libgpp.a decreased almost twice). At least AS.EXE
I got perfectly removes all info about temporary labels.
The size of executables built with gcc-2.8.1 is still bigger than of ones
built with 2.7.2.1 even after stripping unneeded info.
