It won't help to compile Emacs with DWARF2 debug info, because the
DJGPP port of Emacs doesn't support such a build.  The reason is that
no one wrote the code that handles DWARF2 debug info during unexec for
the DJGPP build.

So Emacs _must_ be built with -gcoff.  I build the CVS code regularly
with DJGPP tools, and have never seen any problems with -gcoff,
certainly not a fail to assemble a file.  So -gcoff is not the problem
here, at least if the combination of GCC and Binutils is correct.
