Trust me: there were at least 2 or 3 fixes; some in the compiler, some
in binutils.  Here is an example from gas:

2002-02-22  David Mosberger  <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

	* config/tc-ia64.c (dot_restore): Issue error message of epilogue
	count exceeds prologue count.
	(md_show_usage): Describe -mconstant-gp and -mauto-pic.
	(unwind.label_prologue_count): New member.

	Based on a patch by Hans Boehm <hboehm@hpl.hp.com>:

	(get_saved_prologue_count): New function.
	(save_prologue_count): New function.
	(free_saved_prologue_count): New function.
	(dot_label_state): Record state label by calling save_prologue_count().
	(dot_copy_state): Restore prologue count by calling
	get_saved_prologue_count().
	(generate_unwind_image): Free up list of saved prologue
	counts by calling free_saved_prologue_counts().
