 I've been wondering about these errors too as I have never come across 
them myself.  So I have no idea what's causing them and I can't really 
help other than maybe running `git bisect' on binutils sometime.  Or is 
there a way to get the version of GAS involved? -- `as --version' will do.  
I could see if I could build it and reproduce the problem to see what's 
causing it.  Also seeing the offending .s file could help too, i.e. 
knowing what the context is here.
