AHA! That would explain why it works for me but not a lot of other people. I
use (actually, am FORCED to use) gas from the binutils snapshots from Cygnus's
sourceware, while the latest "official" (going by ftp.gnu.org) GNU release is
still 2.9.1. That means pretty much all Linux distributions would ship with the
rather broken version 2.9.1, resulting in the problems that have been mentioned.
So I guess the problem can be resolved by telling everyone to get the latest
binutils snapshot (be prepared to wait, as the servers have tiny limits) or by
putting the workarounds back in. :-(
