This problem exist for i386 with egcs and gas.new too, and is due to
some weak symbol lossage in gas.new (gcc 2.7 works fine since it outputs
different assembler for those offending constructs.) This should be easy
to fix, but needs thorough testing (and my sparc is slooow) so I expect
it will take a couple of days before I can submit the fix.

I intend to switch to gas.new as the default assembler for sparc and i386
shortly after I have fixed this problem.
