2.2.7's as is pretty old (1.92.3); 4.0's as (2.9.1) prints the following:
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I./../include -I../include -O2 -pipe -march=i486
-mcpu=i686 -DDBUG_OFF -c strings.s
strings.s: Assembler messages:
strings.s:96: Error: Bad expression
strings.s:96: Error: Missing ')' assumed
strings.s:96: Error: Ignoring junk 'edi)/End of string' after expression
Line 96 is:
sa_99: movb $0,(%edi) / End of string
which should read instead:
sa_99: movb $0,(%edi) /* End of string */
This fixes it for 3.0 and up, but 2.2.* spits out so many errors
(unrecognized opcodes std, movsb, cld, stosl, stosb, clrl, and more)
that it's probably not worth trying to fix it.
Installing a newer copy of as might help.
