[Bug gas/1070] New: Assembler error: too many positional arguments

[earl dot olsen at dilithiumnetworks dot com]

Either cpp or the assembler is at fault in this problem.

Using gcc on the following code causes the assembler to issue
the error "too many positional arguments"

# Load immediate word, has to be done with 2 instructions 
    .macro lwi reg,val 
    lis \reg,address@hidden 
    ori \reg,\reg,address@hidden 
    .endm 
#define SOME_ADDR 0x80000000
#define SOME_OFFSET 0x0068
    lwi r25,(SOME_ADDR+SOME_OFFSET) 

Using the gcc -E option reveals:

    lwi 25,(0x80000000 +0x0068) 

Hard coding the lwi statement as follows so that cpp does not 
touch it fixes the problem:

    lwi 25,(0x80000000+0x0068)

This occured with binutils 2.15 and 2.16.1
