There is a discussion of the issue here: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-07/threads.html#00908> which eventually resulted in this patch: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-10/msg01747.html> which was committed to mainline: <http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=rev&revision=118405>. However, it looks like this missed the 4.2 branch by about two weeks so you'll only see it in gcc >= 4.3. Using the GNU assembler ought to work fine for any version, though. Brian
