 Don't make me pull out my Nielson to define "Synopsis" for you,
 please!

 That's a gas bug.  They really mean "report this bug to the EGCS
 team", but anyways...
 
 What is really needed to repeat the bug is the asm output from the
 compiler that gas is trying to compile.  That's not hard to get, but
 you've cut-out too much of the text from before the line "Error:" for
 me to give any hints on how.
 
 Respond with a larger quote from the output.
 
 It might not be a bad idea to include the actual kernel config file
 with the report.  I don't think that your description gives us enough
 information to repeat the error any other way.
 
 Unless we get a response with ~week, we'll probably be forced to close
 this PR.
 
 [Actually, it'll probably just be closed and sent off to the EGCS team
  anyways, but at least give them something to work with so that
  FreeBSD users don't get a bad name with them. :-]
