Re: Assertion failure in 2.18

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

Yang:

It's going to be very tough for people to debug this unless they know
what target you are compiling for and what options were passed to the
assembler. If you are using gcc, pass it the -v option and it will show
the options to the subprograms.

Debugging this for real may not be possible without the actual assembler
input, but without knowing the target CPU and the command line options
it is hopeless.
