That looks wrong... I think Andreas Schwab observed something similar
on binutils@ today.  How did the date get doubled?  Or is that a SuSE
local change?  It doesn't seem to happen for me.

GNU assembler 2.17.50 20070220

I guess you meant [^)], not [^(].  I think it's clearer if you move
the space inside the parentheses, too, so you only need one \?.
