I'm not sure either, but if ias compatibility implies a risk of
silently generating wrong code, then I don't care for that
compatibility one bit.  Generating correct code is _way_ more
important.

It's good to coordinate with the IAS folks, but for now, please
restore correct behavior of GAS, since that's infinitely more
important.

Thanks,
