   I had already found this, and pointed it out to Matt.

   Specifying -fno-pic gets rid of the warning message (not suprisingly).

   The fatal error seems to be that parsing the "pushab .LC0" seems to stop 
after the ".", leaving the LC0 as leftover junk.  I changed the hello.s 
file to use "LC0" instead of ".LC0" and it assembled.  However, trying to 
link the .o file (with cc -static -fno-pic) fails:

hello.o: In function `main':
hello.c:(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `$4'
hello.c:(.text+0x11): undefined reference to `$1'
hello.c:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `uts'
vlc$ nm hello.o
          U $1
          U $4
          U .
00000000 r LC0
00000000 T main
          U uts

   One other thing:  the default optimization appears to be -O0; 
specifying -O1 or greater still results in:

hello.c: In function 'main':
hello.c:2: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
