Thanks Christoph for that explanation.


Meanwhile I've found out more. For some odd reason a very old bug (1999)
resurfaced (or I'm still doing something wrong).


As you have pointed out, @ is a comment in ARM environment.

And http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/1999-10/msg00067.html

It apperently is not anything related to crossgcc. GCC should have used
% instead of @ to avoid this. I'll search gcc mailing-list to findout more


Thanks for your help  /  Ebenfalls mit freundlich Gruessen
