In my eyes that definitely looks like a gas bug. Why would gas generate

regard the immediate value as unsigned?

Looking at gas/confg/tc-vax.c:vip surely makes my eyes bleed.

Anyone can test with a non-gnu assembler?

MACRO-32:

                                     0000     1         .TITLE  TEST
                                     0000     2
                                 00000000     3         .PSECT  TEST
                                     0000     4
00000000 FFFFFFFF 8F FC AD 79 0000 5 ASHQ -4(FP),#-1,-12(fp)
                         F4 AD       000C
                                     000E     6
                                     000E     7         .END


However, I'm pretty sure that unless I say otherwise, values are 32-bit unsigned in MACRO-32, so I'm not sure how this helps.

Hmm, it might be that gas also explicitly have that immediate values are unsigned 32 bit, in which case I guess I should blame gcc after all, if it assumes that a "-1" should be sign extended to 64 bits...
