Undefined Symbol Error in GAS

[info@micromatik.com]

Hi !

I'am testing if a can replace the Microtec Compiler by the
GNU assembler.

When I try to assemble the following example I received some  error messages (as68 is my 68K cross GAS):

    .title  "wg1.S"
.text

*   .equ fooVar, 10

wg: 	dc.l 10+fooVar+testVar
wg2:   dc.l 10+fooVar


Command line Messages:

wolfgang@linux-se:~/Develop/misc > as68 wg1.S
wg1.S: Assembler messages:
wg1.S:6: Error: undefined symbol fooVar in operation
wg1.S:6: Error: undefined symbol testVar in operation


So when I uncomment the  ".equ fooVar" line then there were  no error messages any more!!!

My question is:
"Is the GAS unable to handel more than one external reference  in one assembler statement ?"

thanks 

wolfgang
