Help with Warning on ARM

[Joel Sherrill]

Hi

Over at RTEMS, we have this bit of code which is included with every
build of RTEMS on all architectures. It is a special section to
auto-load pretty printing scripts.

asm( \
  ".pushsection \".debug_gdb_scripts\", \"MS\",@progbits,1\n" \
  ".byte 4\n" \
  ".ascii \"gdb.inlined-script\\n\"\n" \
  ".ascii \"import sys\\n\"\n" \
  ".ascii \"import os.path\\n\"\n" \
  ".ascii \"sys.path.append(os.path.join(gdb.PYTHONDIR, 'rtems'))\\n\"\n" \
  ".ascii \"import rtems.pprinter as pprinter\\n\"\n" \
  ".byte 0\n" \
  ".popsection\n" \
  );

On all ARM builds but no other architecture, we get this message:

/tmp/ccVjIfxL.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccVjIfxL.s:19: missing merge / string entity size, 1 assumed

Any suggestions on what isn't 100% right?

Also, analyzing build logs, I have noticed that the assembler uses
Warning not warning like GCC. This was surprising when I noticed
that my scripts never reported warnings from as. And in this case,
it is just a message.  Isn't this a warning?

Thanks.
