[Bug gas/11601] New: Solaris assembler compatability doesn't work

[hjl dot tools at gmail dot com]

Assembler document has

  For ELF targets, the assembler supports another type of `.section'
directive for compatibility with the Solaris assembler:

     .section "NAME"[, FLAGS...]

   Note that the section name is quoted.  There may be a sequence of
comma separated flags:
`#alloc'
     section is allocatable

`#write'
     section is writable

`#execinstr'
     section is executable

`#tls'
     section is used for thread local storage

But it doesn't work:

address@hidden gas]$ cat /tmp/x.s
        .section ".start", #alloc, #execinstr
        .byte 0,0,0,0
address@hidden gas]$ as -o x.o /tmp/x.s
/tmp/x.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/x.s:1: Error: character following name is not '#'
address@hidden gas]$
