Extended patch

Hi Guys,

  I dislike the idea of disabling code that might actually be needed in some
circumstances.  So how about this alternative patch ?  It extends David's patch
by adding a command line option: --enable-multi-seg-support.  If this option is
used the old, slow, searching code is used.  Otherwise the default action is to
use the new, faster search code.

  What do you think, will this work ?

Cheers
  Nick

Hi Nick,

Thanks for helping with this change.

I'm not sure about the option.  Alpha has somewhat similar code without 
an option.

As I understand it, this code is to handle a number of instructions 
which require a preceding
label.  It usually emitted on the previous line.  It seems to me that 
changing segments between
the label and its related instruction should be an error.  I don't think 
this feature is needed
even for the HP-UX SOM target.

I will check whether GCC needs this for SOM.

Dave
