Hi Nick,

Thanks for the reply, I had hoped I'd gotten the triple wrong but no luck ;-(

This is really confusing me -- I'm testing that target triple before and after
my patch and not seeing any of these messages.

Even more confusing the type of the error is strange, I haven't changed
anything to do with the command execution -- the only difference I've made is
in collecting the assembler flags (I basically just run the existing code in a
loop).


Just looking for any difference I can look into: could you have a look at the
flags in the script I'm using (attached & inlined), maybe we're using different
configure flags?

Or are you running the tests natively?
