I tried to update to the latest version 1.9c,
and that one indeed does lead to this error:
Executing "/home/muller/bin/m68k-sinclairql-vasmm68k_std" with command line "-quiet
-elfregs -gas -Felf -m68000 -o
/home/muller/pas/gitlab-fpc-source/rtl/units/m68k-sinclairql/system.o
/home/muller/pas/gitlab-fpc-source/rtl/units/m68k-sinclairql/system.s"
warning 1007 in line 4 of

scratch at end of line
>.section .text.n_system_$$_mt_frjob$longint$longint,"awx"
So the regression appeared between versions 1.9 and 1.9c.
Checking of versions 1_9a and 1_9b confirms that the problem
appeared in version 1_9a.

Hi,
I think that my daily tests are using vasm 1.9 for sinclairql,
and I have no problems with them.
could you please be a little more specific about the exact version
of the compiler and the make command line you are using?
I used current trunk compiler with:
muller@gcc186:~/pas/trunk/fpcsrc$ make crossall CPU_TARGET=m68k OS_TARGET=sinclairql
OPT="-n -vx"
which uses version 1.9c
muller@gcc186:~/pas/trunk/fpcsrc$ /home/muller/bin/m68k-sinclairql-vasmm68k_std
vasm 1.9 (c) in 2002-2022 Volker Barthelmann
And completes successfully:
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/muller/pas/gitlab-fpc-source'
/usr/bin/echo Build > build-stamp.m68k-sinclairql
/usr/bin/echo Build > base.build-stamp.m68k-sinclairql
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/muller/pas/gitlab-fpc-source'

Good Afternoon.
After a long break, I decided to start work/play on the Sinclair QL FPC
cross compiler.
I noticed that using any release of the vasm assembler, from 1.9
onwards, breaks the "crossall" build. It spits out a number of "warning
1007: scratch at the end of line" errors, then the build fails with 2
errors -- neither of which are displayed.
Reverting back to any of the 1.8 releases, 1.8l (ell) is the latest, and
the build works fine.
I'm pretty sure almost nobody is building the cross compiler for this
particular bit of 1980s hardware, other than myself and a couple of
others, but hopefully this message will be useful to someone. It could
be that the later versions of the assembler are going to break other
M68K systems?
For best results, the 1.8l version of vasm can be obtained from
http://phoenix.owl.de/tags/vasm1_8l.tar.gz and this is the most recent
version of the assembler that will help build the cross compiler.
Cheers,
Norm.
