Error: load/store address overflow (max 32 bits)

[Eric Fisher]

hi,
Such an instruction " sw $2, 0xb0000388 ", when run on GNU assembler
version 2.14 (mips-elf) using BFD version 2.14 20030612, it failswith
info " Error: load/store address overflow (max 32 bits)". But it can
pass under GNU assembler version 2.9.1 (mips-elf), using BFD version
2.9.1.

Is this the problem of the gas version? Is this instrction not
supported or wrong?

Thanks,
Eric.
