[Bug target/22006] New: New IRIX 6.5 testsuite failures with gas: .space repeat count is zero, ignored

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

If switching from SGI as to GNU as 2.15, a couple of new testsuite failures
occur on the 3.4 branch as of 20050607:

+FAIL: gcc.dg/range-test-1.c (test for excess errors)

FAIL: gcc.dg/range-test-1.c (test for excess errors)
Excess errors:
/var/tmp//ccj9FSrW.s:1483: Warning: .space repeat count is zero, ignored
/var/tmp//ccj9FSrW.s:1506: Warning: .space repeat count is zero, ignored

A couple of libjava failures have the same cause:

.space 0 is generated for both assemblers, but while SGIs MIPSpro as
silently ignores it, gas warns as above.

Environment:
System: IRIX sculptor 6.5 10060437 IP32

How-To-Repeat:
Compare testsuite results with and without gas.
