Hi Nick,

If the following condition is met, line_comment_chars consists of just "#":

#if (defined (TE_I386AIX)                               \
     || ((defined (OBJ_ELF) || defined (OBJ_MAYBE_ELF)) \
         && !defined (TE_LINUX)                         \
         && !defined (TE_NETWARE)                       \
         && !defined (TE_FreeBSD)                       \
         && !defined (TE_NetBSD)))

The problem can be seen with the i386-elf-as cross assembler from the
DarwinPorts i386-elf-binutils package on MacOS X on an Intel Mac (and I presume
on a PowerPC Mac too). I can reproduce the problem with a file called test.S
consisting of just these two lines:

/* Hello
 World */

The same file assembles without error under Linux.

Regards,
Neil
