--- Comment #3 from Martin Husemann <martin at netbsd dot org> ---
Of course I do not mind fixing gas, but the whole point of the "D" formatting
code is to work around this assembler bug, and while this might be mostly
irrelevant nowadays, isn't gcc supposed to work with other assemblers (like the
VMS one) as well? Gas seems to be "bug-compatible" here.

Overall, especially since this change is trivial, wouldn't it be best/easiest
to apply it anyway?
