warnings where errors are appropiate

[Albert van der Horst]

I would like to report the following defect found in :

GNU assembler 2.11.92.0.10 (SuSE)
Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License.  This program has absolutely no warranty.
This assembler was configured for a target of `i486-suse-linux'.

The following line

        .section forth progbits
leads to a warning

Warning : rest of line ignored. First ignored character is 'p'.

If as apparently doesn't understand a part of the line, it cannot
judge the severity of the error, and must assume the worst.
In the above case it is of absolute severity, a facility is missing
that allows for no work around.

To add insult to injury this warning is only reported on the
error channel, and not in the listing file.
