Binutils (including gas) support was written to conform to AIX
3.2.5. With each revision of AIX, binutils is farther and farther behind,
and less and less compatible. You can use the current gas if it works for
you, but any bugs are in gas, not gcc. GCC support for AIX is being
written to conform to the assembler syntax that AIX "as" accepts.
