10656 is only a regression for unpatched versions of Solaris 2.7. The
bug report is about using the .register pseudo-op in v8.S. Sun has a
patch for Solaris to add .register support to their assembler, but
install.texi actually advises against using it (search for Sun patch
107058-01).
To be honest, I don't understand why .register is needed. Is it safe to
omit if configure tells us that the assembler doesn't support it?
Anyone?
Thanks,
