   /usr/tmp/cca000Yh.s:75: Error: register does not match opcode suffix

   The GAS I use is the one from the binutils 2.9 candidates area. I think
   there has been one more since.

Whoops, you're right.  I was confused.  gas does catch this particular
error, and has done so since day one.  I was mistakenly thinking that
something else was going on here.
