That's a gas bug. They really mean "report this bug to the EGCS team", but anyways... What is really needed to repeat the bug is the asm output from the compiler that gas is trying to compile. That's not hard to get, but you've cut-out too much of the text from before the line "Error:" for me to give any hints on how. Respond with a larger quote from the output. It might not be a bad idea to include the actual kernel config file with the report. I don't think that your description gives us enough information to repeat the error any other way. Unless we get a response with ~week, we'll probably be forced to close this PR. [Actually, it'll probably just be closed and sent off to the EGCS team anyways, but at least give them something to work with so that FreeBSD users don't get a bad name with them. :-] -- This is my .signature which gets appended to the end of my messages.
