Could this be the same bug that prevents
nm --line-numbers from producing sensible output?

I can confirm that it worked with gcc 2.95.2 (can't remember
the binutils version, but it was SuSE 7.0).

It does not work with gcc-2.95.4 20011002 from Debian unstable.
It works with gcc-3.0.4 20020209 from Debian unstable.
