Wouldn't this also break compiling code that contains power9 instructions 
but guarded by runtime tests to only be executed on power9 machines?  That 
seems a valid usecase, and it'd be bad if the assembler fails to compile 
such.  (You can't use -mcpu=power9 as work around as the other 
unguarded code is not supposed to be using power9 insns).


Ciao,
Michael.
