Thanks Jakub,
It is not surprising that Alan hit the assert because when he modified the
patch and moved it the get_block_for_decl, that enabled mergable constants
to be inside a block, there are not DECLs for.
But I would like to pick up his idea to add an assertion as attachment #45830
I have bootstrapped that successfully, and built
and arm-linux-gnueabihf cross compiler (arm has section anchors IIRC).
I would be grateful if you could give it a try on you powerpc machine.
Bernd.
