RE: [arm-gnu] Segmentation fault using --be8 option

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your investigations and your patch. 
As Carlos said, more testing are needed to validate it.
I planned to do some tests, I will keep you update of my results.

Best regards,
Jacques

Thanks for the test case.  I was able to reproduce the problem using
