Let me know if the problem you saw has gone now and I'll mark your report
as a duplicate of PR gas/12282 if so. The change affected
config/tc-arm.c, config/tc-ia64.c and cgen.c, so the platforms that
suffered were ARM and IA-64 as well as those using CGEN; hopefully they
all have been cured now. Sorry about the original mess-up.
Maciej
