-g no longer works on OpenBSD

[didickman]

When trying to compile with -g I now get an error like the below which I think is new. (OpenBSD uses binutils 2.17 as this is the last GPLv2 version.)

$ cd /usr/src/bin/cat
$ ccomp -g cat.c
/tmp/compcert3db100.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/compcert3db100.s:4: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.cfi_sections'
Error during assembling.

The problem is the old binutils. The .cfi_sections directive is needed for specifying the location of the debug information for call frames. The directives is available with binutils 2.21 and upwards.

It would also help if you could give us the .s file generated by your gcc with -g.

latest version works for me. thanks.
