gas fails to cross-compile mips coff target

[Frédéric Pétrot]

Hello,

  In binutils-2.11
  configures with
  #!/bin/sh
  # This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
  # This directory was configured as follows:
  ./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/users/fusion2/pwet/Linux 
--target=mipsel-cass-ecoff --program-prefix=mce- --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as 
--norecursion 
  file ./gas/config/tc-mips.c fails to compile because
  OPTION_CALL_SHARED (among others) is declared within a
  #ifdef OBJ_ELF
  #endif
  line 8897
  And used without checking the OBJ_ELF macro line 9063

  I would simply kill the #ifdef OBJ_ELF/#endif lines.

  Later on, gas links fails because it can't find functions themselves 
  protected by macros:
  ECOFF_DEBUGGING is not defined in ecoff.c => only 

  In fact it seems that config/obj-ecoff.h is not included, but I
  couldn't make it through the arcanes of the configuration to
  understand why.

  (Note that it works perfectly well when using a mipsel-cass-elf
  target).

  Fred
