Not entirely. Yes, it should check flag_debug_asm or whatever it is, but
the calls to app_enable and app_disable are still needed.
True, the problem still exists, however, it exists only if the -dA option
is used. This option is so obscure that I had to look up its name when
this issue first came up. The fact that an obscure debugging option can
cause failures is not a serious problem.
It is certainly OK to install this patch with the variable names fixed.
However, keep in mind that this patch only fixes a small subset of the problem.
It will fix the problem only if you are using GNU AS, and only if you are not
using DWARF2 debug info. And even then, I suspect that only some systems will
be fixed, because it depends on how the comment start characters in GNU as are
defined. So even with this patch, the problem still remains.
