Hi H.J.

  The assembler is failing to parse the .section directive because the #
character starts a line comment.  If you assemble your test case with the -f
option added to the command line then it will work.

  Presumably the # character is required by Solaris assembler.  Do you know if
the Solaris assembler treats # as being a line command character at places other
than inside a .section directive ?  If so then we are probably never going to be
able to be compatible with it.

  The uploaded patch improves the error message slightly.  What do you think of 
it ?

Cheers
  Nick
