My patch

	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-04/msg00256.html

handles this.  I still need to submit a cleaned-up version thereof, but it
should be good enough to get you started, provided you use my patch to fall
back to the old assembler included in Tru64 5.1 as well:

You may want

	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-04/msg00213.html

too :-)
