--- Comment #1 from jbeulich at novell dot com ---
Yeah, and as validly noted in bug 79299 comment 2, it shouldn't have been gcc
to get fixed back then, but gas. Without having looked, I assume gcc emitted
size specifiers in line with the AVX gathers before that change, and that's
what gas now expects.

However - couldn't gcc simply omit the *WORD PTR altogether in many cases,
including (and in particular) the ones here? There's nothing ambiguous here
afaict with the size specifiers omitted.
