I like it!  It should work on any architecture that the linux kernel
supports too, as `#' is in either comment_chars[] or line_comment_chars[].
In fact the only gas target that this trick will fail on is tic30.

BTW, Scott you can blame me for adding these warnings.  See
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-04/msg00264.html for a good reason why
gas should warn.
