So I guess that It's a system-specific problem. What problem could it
be? Any ideas?
I wonder if it is filesystem related? object files can contain areas
that are never written, and we rely on the operating system to fill
with zeros.
However, I think it's much more likely that "as" is writing some
uninitialised memory to file. Please open a bug report at

attach your .s source.
