I was about to commit this into my svn checkout and then realized the
patch p4 didn't have the changes to configure - So I regenerated it
again and then began a journey into the depths of m4 and autoconf for
a bit before I gave up. Empirically I spotted this odd behaviour with
gcc_GAS_CHECK_FEATURE and comments - Attached are the 2 alternate
patches that I tried and the difference in the configure scripts
themselves . I am no m4 expert but it does look like the m4_substr in
gcc_GAS_CHECK_FEATURE doesn't really like that comment there.
Any ideas anyone ? I must decline any knowledge of m4 at this point
and I don't want to commit this until I understand what's going on
here.

Thanks for the quick review - I thought however
it was kind of a "standard" workaround for this issue
having seen this elsewhere in the same file - given this is used

Fair point - done.

I tested x86_64-linux-gnu with a bootstrap and that showed identical
auto-host.h to the previous run and thus that appeared to be fine.
(This is a target that uses the default '@') .. On ARM I've done a
full bootstrap and auto-host.h shows the appropriate macro defined (
and it does with this version of the patch as well). Are there any
other targets you'd suggest ?
Assuming all tests pass is this version better ?
cheers

[Patch ARM/ configury] Add fall-back check for gnu_unique_object - Default to this for arm-linux-gnueabi
Hi,
While investigating a report for odd behaviour with a C++ program, I
discovered that the automatic checking for gnu_unique_object is broken
during
bootstrap for arm-linux-gnueabi targets because on ARM '@' is a
comment character for the assembler.
I do realize this can be worked around with the configure time option
but it would be nice to fix this without
having to resort to the workaround everytime.
Fixed thusly - tested with bootstraps on both arm-linux-gnueabi and
verified that auto-host.h has the right definition.
Ok ?
regards,
Ramana
