When the output file is the same as the input file ...

[John Darrington]

Occasionally I thoughtlessly type:

 as foo.s -o foo.s

which dutifully assembles my source file and overwrites it with the object code :(

Would you accept a patch which produces an error if the input and outfile files
are the same?
