Conditions on definedness of TARGET_ASM_NAMED_SECTION are rather fragile - it's a target hook not properly a target macro, it shouldn't need to be defined in tm.h. There are two such tests in defaults.h and two in target-def.h, but we should remove them rather than adding to them. TM_CLONE_TABLE_SECTION_NAME would better be a target hook, not a macro. As I noted in <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-06/msg01642.html> (when cleaning up another such #ifdef conditional) there are actually very few targets without named sections. And if we deprecate the a.out OpenBSD targets then there will be even fewer. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
