A new twist on the same theme.  I have discovered that when I am
compiling, I only get the problem with the '-g' option, if I compile
with no options or with -O, it works just fine.  Of course this isn't
too helpful when your debugging a program.  The command I am using is:

	gnucc -DUSG -g -c file.c

I am also using GNU MAKE 3.47, and am not using the GNU assembler.
