"bug" in GNU assembler.

[josh]

Hi all,

I'm not sure this exactly counts as a bug, but...

on:

Linux 2.4.22-ben2 #2 SMP Fri Sep 19 10:07:56 EDT 2003 ppc 7410, altivec 
supported GNU/Linux
GNU assembler 2.14.90.0.7 20031029

doing the following:

address@hidden new-core> as -mregnames <<EOF               
>         .macro cstring string
>         .byte 0f-(.-1)
>         .byte "\string"
> 1:
>         .endm
> 
>         .data
> 
>         cstring "testing..."
> EOF

produces:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:9: Internal error, aborting at config/tc-ppc.c line 5824 in 
md_apply_fix3
Please report this bug.

Note that in the macro I used a reference to label 0, and then accidentally
defined label 1: instead (0: is never defined).  So as I said, this isn't in
any way a serious bug, but it said to report it, so I figured, "why not?"
