[Bug gas/994] New: section switch in function causes segfault

[rth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

.text
        .proc get_fileinfo#
get_fileinfo:
        .prologue 12, 35
[.LVL0:]
        .mmi
        .save ar.pfs, r36
        alloc r36 = ar.pfs, 1, 5, 3, 0
        addl r34 = @gprel(file_info_tree#), gp
        .save rp, r35
        mov r35 = b0
        .mmi
        mov r37 = r1
        .body
        ;;
        .section        .text.unlikely, "ax", @progbits
        .mmi
        nop 0
        ;;
        .text
        .endp get_fileinfo#


This is not unlike what gcc -freorder-blocks-and-partition would like to 
create.  Whether or not you consider section switching legal, the assembler
shouldn't crash.
