In the process of re-adapting kaffe for SGI Irix 6.x I've run into a
problem with the trampoline definition. It seems that the lines:
sw $31, 0($sp) \n
l1: .word " C_FUNC_NAME(soft_fixup_trampoline) " \n
.globl mips_do_fixup_trampoline \n
.ent mips_do_fixup_trampoline \n
mips_do_fixup_trampoline: \n
cause a problem with the SGI assembler in which it refuses to compile
with the following error:
/bin/sh ../../../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../config
-I../../../include -I../../../kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads -I.. -I./..

Is there some documentation as to what this functions is *expected* to
do or some other means by which it can be achieved? Given context,
I'm sure I can fix it, I just don't have time to track down that
context from the sources.
