I have tried to compile repository sources of libc using -gcoff flag and it
aborted with the following error message:

c:/djgpp-2.04/bin/make.exe -C compat/signal
gcc ... -c siglist.c
c:/TMP/ccCt9a7s.s: Assembler messages:
c:/TMP/ccCt9a7s.s:409: Error: invalid operands (.text and .text.startup sections) for `-'
c:/TMP/ccCt9a7s.s:463: Error: invalid operands (.text and .text.startup sections) for `-'

make.exe[3]: *** [siglist.o] Error 1
make.exe[2]: *** [all_subs] Error 2
make.exe[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make.exe: *** [subs] Error 2

I am using gcc 4.6.2 and binutils 2.22.  All setting are standard except that
I have added the -gcoff option to makefile.cfg.  If I add the -g option
everything works OK.  I increased cc1.exe stack to 5MB because I was testing
other issues that required a larger stack space.  There is no difference if
I replace binutils 2.22 with binutils 2.21.1.

If more info is required, please contact me.
