Subject: Why do I have so many problems building libm?

I posted about this over the weekend without any response.  libm
really confuses ar or something.  I compile everything else (all the
libs, etc.) without any problem, but libm acts *really* weird.  My cc
and ar are both current from the sources the day before yesterday and
are statically linked.  I can have it break on one file then pass if I
restart the compile:

cc -O -I/local/src/lib/libm/common_source -c /local/src/lib/libm/common_source/erf.c
as: /var/tmp/cc006062.s:333: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `I'.
*** Error code 1

It died... but just restart the make where it left off and it passes:

cc -O -I/local/src/lib/libm/common_source -c /local/src/lib/libm/common_source/erf.c
cc -O -I/local/src/lib/libm/common_source -c /local/src/lib/libm/common_source/exp.c

What's even weirder is I had it die here, at the exact same place,
with two different errors!

cc -O -I/local/src/lib/libm/common_source -c /local/src/lib/libm/common_source/j0.c
as: /var/tmp/cc010106.s:807: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `N'.
*** Error code 1

Bad char is 'N' above, but below it's '>', and on a different line!

===> libm
cc -O -I/local/src/lib/libm/common_source -c /local/src/lib/libm/common_source/j0.c
as: /var/tmp/cc010765.s:749: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `>'.
*** Error code 1

Can anyone shed any light on what's going on???  Obviously something
is very confused somewhere.
