Perhaps. It seems to be caused by a very funny bug in printf or scanf or
in related functions in gcc.

"nan" here seems to be be for misparsing ".Letext" as "nan" (numeric
Not a Number). I get "nan" for the label in the stabs line and
"-inftext" for the label itself. "-inf" seems to be for misparsing
something as numeric -Infinity. The bogus label "-inftext" causes
only a warning from the assembler. Linkage fails later because there
is no label "nantext".

Here you get the reasonable label .Letext and I still get nantext/-inftext.
".Letext" is apparently from adding the prefix .L to etext to keep etext
out of the namespace.
