This is one non fatal but not nice thing with binutils and gcc-3.0.

Another one is .comment section being interpretted as unresolved 
reference by mkdexe.exe. Of course I can patch mkdexe.c to skip
.comment but it should be ugly workaround. Currently I'm doing that 
to build DJGPP CVS version with gcc-3.0 but I (and perhaps not only 
I) would not like to try to get similar patch in CVS version
