Compiled assembly and CC files

Yes, you are indeed correct, I get an error later with:

  ld-new: .libs/compatibility.o: loader reloc in read-only section .text

The attached file contains the *.cc file that comes from the pre-processing
stage, the assembler output of compiling that (on an AIX box) and the result of
compiling that using IBM as and using gnu as and my misguided patch.

The errors from this file are:
compatibility.s: Assembler messages:
compatibility.s:959: Error: can't resolve `_compatibility.rw_[RW]' {.data
section} - `__gcc_unwind_dbase' {*UND* section}
compatibility.s:1330: Error: can't resolve `_compatibility.rw_[RW]' {.data
section} - `__gcc_unwind_dbase' {*UND* section}
compatibility.s:1389: Error: can't resolve `_compatibility.rw_[RW]' {.data
section} - `__gcc_unwind_dbase' {*UND* section}
