broken 'as' or broken snapshot ?

   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 ?

Both.  I added support for the extended .p2align on February 14, 1997,
and it was in the 2.8 release.

However, the egcs configure.in file has a check to see whether the
assembler can support this.  Evidently that check failed; that should
probably be examined before the 1.1 release, and fixed if there is a
bug.  Perhaps the config.log file can shed some light on why the check
failed.
