understood. the following patch removes the .subsection and .previous
directives. would you let me know how this works if you try it. I
sympathize with you, since I hit the assembler wall (along with some
unresolved 32->64 bit issues :o) working on postgres on a system
without gnu as.

I'm not sure about the official position, but I think libstdc++ should
work w/o GNU as, also. If removing the offending asm directives works 
for you perhaps there is a gcc macro available so we could

#if defined(__GNU_AS__)
  ".subsection 1\n"
#endif

later.
