Your compiler is generating code that your assembler does not expect.
Or, your source code has asm statements that have pseudo-ops that your
assembler does not expect.  The errors suggest that you are passing ELF
assembler pseudo-ops to a non-ELF assembler.  The Darwin assembler is,
of course, not an ELF assembler.  You need to find out why either GCC or
your source code is expecting an ELF assembler.
