Right, but this is very "draft". You can't blindly assume the gas you use
actually can deal with quotation.

Let's assume that for the time being, but there's something else; see below.

.refptr.bx:
          .quad   bx

Sure, this one needs quoting then, too.

   assemble_name_raw (file, "*bx");

Quoting this would break the i686 DWARF2 code, which may contain an arithmetic 
expression like

   .long LXXYY-1    # "LXXYY" minus one

If it was quoted like `.long "LXXYY-1"`, it would mean something very different 
and cause linker errors.

The attached patch contains `&& name[0] != '*'` with a reason: In the function `assemble_name_raw` in 'gcc/varasm.cc', if `name` starts with a `*`, then its remaining part is output without decoration. I have no idea what `*` means; this `.quad bx` thing apparently results from something like
