Yes.  In fact, doing anything other than causing an error might give
the wrong impressions.

That was my original point: specifying -mabi=meabi with gas
approximately equivalent in effect to, say, -march=foo with the MIPS
assembler.  That support is non-functional, and should cause an error.

No real special case in gcc, no special case in the assembler ->
error.  8-)

only difference is, it's an assember that "we" maintain.
