I doubt it is a linker bug. I have a simple C file. I cross compiled
it to Linux/mipsel on Linux/x86 with gcc 3.1.1. I got

# gcc -g ~/tmp/s.c -o ~/tmp/s
# gcc -g ~/tmp/s.c -o ~/tmp/s.o -c
# readelf -dw ~/tmp/s.o > /dev/null
unsupported or unknown DW_CFA_17
# readelf -dw ~/tmp/s.o > /dev/null
unsupported or unknown DW_CFA_17
# gdb ~/tmp/s
...
DW_FORM_strp pointing outside of .debug_str section

It looks like a gcc/gas bug to me. Can you tell me what you get with
your gdb and readelf on the enclosed s.o and s as well as what you get
with s and s.o compiled from s.c with your gcc 3.1 mips compiler?

Thanks.
