Actually, I found this bug because the PowerPC Linux community is
using a patch created by Andrew Macleod which defines
ASM_OUTPUT_DWARF_STRING using ".asciz". The patch was for gcc-2.95, but
never was fully tested or added. I think the question really is what
Andrew plans to do with his patch which exposes this latent bug.
