The attached patch is needed to get the gdb.asm testsuite running successfully for ia64. A recent patch changed the link step to use the target linker rather than gcc. The old method was defaulting dynamic loading. The new code causes a static executable to be created with the first insn being that of gdbasm_startup. Previously, the first insn was just a mov, but this should be an alloc insn. Without this change, a SIGILL is caused for the first insn and the tests all fail.

If it works for you :-) I'm sure there's going to be more of this fallout.

       * gdb.asm/ia64.inc (gdbasm_startup): Make sure first instruction
       executed is an alloc instruction.
