[PATCH] x86/Intel: avoid infinite recursion in i386_intel_simplify_symbol() (again)
Jan Beulich submits a patch to fix an infinite recursion issue in the i386_intel_simplify_symbol() function, which is related to PR gas/30308. The issue re-emerged due to insufficient use of the “resolving” property. The patch adds a testcase to prevent future regressions. He also notes a failure on COFF/PE targets when --32 is used and “noprefix” is missing.
