.size foo1, 1

bar1's size is 2 while bar2, bar3, bar4's is 1. The behavior of bar1 makes sense
(generally directives on the new symbol should win) and is relied upon by glibc
stdio-common/errlist.c:
```
.hidden _sys_errlist_internal
.globl _sys_errlist_internal
.type _sys_errlist_internal, @object
.size _sys_errlist_internal, 1072
_sys_errlist_internal:
.globl __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist
.set __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, _sys_errlist_internal
.type __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, %object
.size __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, 125 * (64 / 8)
// glibc expects that .size __GLIBC_2_1_sys_errlist, 125 * (64 / 8) wins.
```
The behavior of bar2/bar3/bar4 seems brittle. To avoid the reordering of the two
code blocks which will result in the bar3 situation, glibc compiles errlist.c
with gcc -fno-toplevel-reorder (previously -fno-unit-at-a-time).
To fix the inconsistency and improve robustness, make bar2/bar3/bar4 match bar1,
removing the directive order sensitivity.
There is a pity that `.size dest, 0` is indistinguishable from the case where
dest is unset, but the compromise seems fine.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
