It's probably not the same problem as the one mentioned in the
URL above.  I tried a build a while ago using GNU as and ran into the
same problem.  It turned out that the label referenced in the
expression was indeed not present in the assembly code produced by
GCC.  It had been optimized away.  We do have a bug, indeed, but I
didn't have time to track it down.
