Hi Graham,

Could you possibly put together a test case so I can try and get a fix in
before egcs-1.1.2 is released? What you see sounds like a bug in emitting
.linkonce directive (somewhat like "weak" symbols in ELF, but done at the
section level instead of symbol level) for certain inlines.

In the meantime, I'll download the latest release and try it out.

Regards,
Mumit
