I have found the following related to the removal of h8300-*-hms from binutils: 1) http://ring.nict.go.jp/archives/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-4-0/src/gnu/dist/binutils/binutils/NEWS 2) http://www.nabble.com/The-situation-of-gcc-h8300-hms-and-related-packages-td6455838.html 3) http://www.nabble.com/Bug-387772:-Can-binutils-h8300-hms-be-removed--td6956460.html The current Debian version of binutils-h8300-hms is 2.16.1-8 - http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=binutils-h8300 On the package page ( http://packages.debian.org/sid/binutils-h8300-hms ), there is a downloadable *.diff.gz file. That diff file, in turn, creates several "*.dpatch" diff files. At least from scanning the patch descriptions, I'm not sure that any of those patches address the local label issue. I did find this bug that was reported against binutils 2.17 - http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2101 , but it looks like more of an issue with hex constants than local labels. Thanks, Matthew
