Hello,

Subject: [Bug gas/37] New: [intel_syntax] can't reference global symbols having 
certain names

I'm using today's CVS gas:
> ./gas/as-new --version
GNU assembler 2.15.90 20040226
Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
[etc.]

The errors I get are typically as follows:
> ./gas/as-new /tmp/foo.s
/tmp/foo.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/foo.s:7: Error: missing or invalid immediate expression `' taken as 0
/tmp/foo.s:7: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
/tmp/foo.s:8: Error: missing or invalid immediate expression `' taken as 0
/tmp/foo.s:8: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `call'

Here is the code: All it tries to do is call and take the address of a function
called "byte". 


> cat /tmp/foo.s
.intel_syntax
.text
byte:
        RET

foo:
        MOV EAX, OFFSET byte
        CALL byte
        RET
------------------

You can get similar bad behavior by replacing byte with
any of: (word dword xword offset mov ret call).
