Wow, its a feature, not a bug. Its strange that it works without the
-xassembler when using gcc 4.2.

I found a root cause and a simpler/better simple fix:
From manpage for gcc on Linux:
file.s
Assembler code.
And from Darwin:
file.s
Assembler code. Apple's version of GCC runs the preprocessor
on these files as well as
those ending in .S.
So the problem/difference is that Apple insists on passing the .s through the
preprocessor by default when FSF's gcc does not.
The fix appears to be an explict "-xassembler":
$ cat foo.s
.text
# _gsym_test_func
.globl _gsym_test_func
_gsym_test_func:
# _gsym_test_func
$ gcc -std=c99 -c foo.s
foo.s:2:3: error: invalid preprocessing directive #_gsym_test_func
foo.s:5:3: error: invalid preprocessing directive #_gsym_test_func
$ gcc -std=c99 -c -xassembler foo.s
[no output]

Ok, then there are two possible simple fixes:
- Strip -std from CCASFLAGS if Apple's gcc 4.0 is encountered, or
- Always strip -std from CCASFLAGS. The flag shouln't have any effect
when compiling assembly.

I can confirm that the problem appears specific to Apple's compiler.
Since the failure was reported to be configure-time, that took less
time to check up on that I'd
expected.
What I find is that gcc-4.0.0 on Linux/x86 *does* fail the
"#_gsym_test_func" test, but for the RIGHT
reason, and then goes on to
pass the next test case with the proper form of global symbol. The
relevent portion of config.log
appears below.

Looks like a bug in Apple's gcc 4.0. I tried the source

I will take a look and see if there is a simple fix to
get around this apparent compiler bug.

Short version
=============
MTT turned up a problem with -std=gnu99 on OS X
Leopard, which ships with the gcc 4.0
compiler (OS X Snow Leopard ships with gcc 4.2,
and doesn't have a problem). Does
anyone
have gcc 4.0 on Linux? I'm wondering if the same
problem would occur.
More details:
=============
From our friends at Absoft:
-----
The -std=gnu99 is causing the problem when used
with gcc-4.0 ( the default on Leopard
with
Apple's XCode 3.1 development tools ):
BigMac:ompi cag$ gcc --version -std=gnu99 -c
conftest.s
conftest.s:2:3: error: invalid preprocessing
directive #_gsym_test_func
conftest.s:5:3: error: invalid preprocessing
directive #_gsym_test_func
BigMac:ompi cag$ gcc-4.0 -std=gnu99 -c conftest.s
conftest.s:2:3: error: invalid preprocessing
directive #_gsym_test_func
conftest.s:5:3: error: invalid preprocessing
directive #_gsym_test_func
BigMac:ompi cag$ gcc-4.2 -std=gnu99 -c conftest.s
BigMac:ompi cag$
On Snow Leopard with Apple's XCode 3.2
development tools, the default compiler is 4.2.
-----
The compile line he's talking about in particular
is from a configure test in
opal/config/opal_config_asm.m4, where we're
looking for assembly global symbols. The
source
that we're trying to compile is:
-----
.text
# _gsym_test_func
.globl _gsym_test_func
_gsym_test_func:
# _gsym_test_func
-----
(configure tries a few prefixes)
But the "#" token with the -std=gnu99 option is
causing failures where it shouldn't
(i.e., it
causes configure to abort because all the
assembly tests looking for the global symbols
error
out due to the # token.
So I think we either need to find a workaround
for this assembly test or whack the idea
of
the C99 stuff. :-(
