Gcc - can't branch to undefined symbol

["Jerry Walden" <jerry.walden@lantronix.com>]

Hello -

I am using gcc 3.3.2 - when I assemble a file that has a branch to a
label, and the label is not defined in the .S file (i.e. there is no
extern - the label exists in another .S file) the error "cannot branch
to an undefined symbol" results.  Using an older version of
mipsel-gnu-linux-gcc does not report this error.  Any idea what I am
doing wrong?

Thanks
