X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7f27b6b18a0b72372128b2f49f743084776f1c54;p=binutils-gdb.git

gas_init

Rename gas_late_init to plain gas_init, to reinforce the idea that
this is where the bulk of gas initialisation belongs.  Also reorder
some initialisation.

	* as.c (gas_init): Rename from gas_late_init.  Open output
	file and arrange for dump_statistics to be called here rather
	than in main.  Create .gasversion. local symbol earlier,
	because we can.
