broken 'as' or broken snapshot ?

[David C Binderman]

Hello there,

I have tried to bootstrap both egcs-980621 and egcs-980628 on
--host=i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 wth 'as' version 970202.

In both cases, I got the following error message, and bootstrap fails.

The assembler is whining about the following lines.

519:	.p2align 4,,7
541:	.p2align 4,,7
548:	.p2align 4,,7
560:	.p2align 4,,7
564:	.p2align 4,,7

Is it time to upgrade my assembler, or are two recent egcs snapshots wrong
to emit such directives ?
