Grr! Thanks for tracking down the change that broke EH on MIPS!
I think I can provide a temporary work-around for this problem (to
resolve the immediate regression) by initializing the current label
to the start of the function. This'll mean that we'll resume using
advance_loc as the first instruction in the FDE. However, profiled
bootstrap and/or hot/cold partitioning will still continue to introduce
DW_CFA_set_loc, which presumably can't be handled by current binutils.
Not ideal, but it will restore libgcj whilst the necessary bintuils
functionality is added.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Roger
