After checking what ".type" and ".size" actually mean (they annotate a
symbol with type and size), it seems likely that what is meant here is
to just refer to the "cyg_hal_sys_restore" symbol, and not the
"__restore" symbol.  I.e. the code probably has changed at some point
to incorporate a name change, but somebody forgot to update that
directive.  It's not necessary for the code to work so it is only
detected now that binutils got stricter about its input.
Thank you for the analysis and patch. Checked in. Can you test please?


Thanks John, All well after cvs update: make build + make tests.
