Hi,

Some newer assemblers emit section start temp symbols for mod init and term
sections if there is no suitable symbol present already.
The temp symbols are linker visible and therefore appear in the symbol tables.
Since the temp symbol number can vary when debug is enabled, that causes
compare-debug fails.  The solution is to provide a stable linker-visible
symbol.

tested on powerpc, i686, x86_64-darwin, x8-64-linux
pushed to master, thanks
Iain

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* config/darwin.c (finalize_ctors): Add a section-start linker-
	visible symbol.
	(finalize_dtors): Likewise.
	* config/darwin.h (MIN_LD64_INIT_TERM_START_LABELS): New.
