gas 2.11 bug

[Simon Kernthaler]

 I am fairly new to assembler, so please forgive me
 if
 I miss anything important...
 
 *gas version: 2.11
 
 *system: HP-UX (version 10.20) on an HPPA (PA-risc)
 workstation
 
 *cc compiler: cc (bundled with HP-UX 10.20)
 
 *command: /usr/local/m68k-hp/bin/as -m68ec060
 test2.s
 
 *input file attached: 'test2.s'
 
 *behaviour: dies with 'bus error (core dump)'
 message
 
 *notes: similar behaviour on Intel-linux (i686/
 Redhat
 6.1) system (gcc version egcs-2.91.66) - generates a
 page fault/core dump.
  
 We are cross compiling code for motorola m68060s
 using
 hppa-hpux machines, and have recently upgraded to
 binutils 2.11 . The code we had compiles fine under
 our previous version of gas(2.9.1), but under 2.11
 exits with a bus error and a core dump. The attached
 file 'test2.s' duplicates the problem.
 
 I have since found that putting the '.mri 1' line
 before the macro statements and calling them 'macro'
 instead of '.macro' fixes the problem, but an error
 message might have saved me 2 days work :-)
 
 Hope that was useful. Thanks,
                Simon
