+
+       * config/tc-xtensa.c (struct litpool_frag): Add new field
+       literal_count.
+       (MAX_AUTO_POOL_LITERALS, MAX_EXPLICIT_POOL_LITERALS)
+       (MAX_POOL_LITERALS): New macro definitions.
+       (auto_litpool_limit): Initialize to 0.
+       (md_parse_option): Set auto_litpool_limit in the presence of
+       --auto-litpools option.
+       (xtensa_maybe_create_literal_pool_frag): Zero-initialize
+       literal_count field.
+       (xg_find_litpool): New function. Make sure that found literal
+       pool size is within the limit.
+       (xtensa_move_literals): Extract literal pool search code into
+       the new function.
+       * testsuite/gas/xtensa/all.exp: Add auto-litpools-2 test.
+       * testsuite/gas/xtensa/auto-litpools-2.d: New file.
+       * testsuite/gas/xtensa/auto-litpools-2.s: New file.
+       * testsuite/gas/xtensa/auto-litpools.d: Fix up changed
+       addresses.
+       * testsuite/gas/xtensa/auto-litpools.s: Change literal value so
+       that objdump doesn't get out of sync.
