See the following testcase: $ cat string.c int main (void) { return 0; } * Wit Sun as, I get: $ > ./xgcc -B./ -g -c string.c -save-temps /usr/bin/as: "string.s", line 27: error: unknown opcode ".string" /usr/bin/as: "string.s", line 27: error: statement syntax and many more. * With gnu as, I get: string.s: Assembler messages: string.s:120: Error: can't resolve `.LLFB0' {*UND* section} - `.LLtext0' {.text section} and several more.
