gas --statistics segfault

Hi Dasn,

Which version of as is this ?  For which target(s) has it been compiled ?

I do not like the idea of doing this without knowing the reason for the 
segfault nor having a way to reproduce the problem.  I tried your test 
case on my machine and never received a single segfault.
