Thanks for the pointer.  Indeed the problem has nothing to do with
pbuilder, except that it's using binutils 2.21 from sid, while my
debuild used binutils 2.20.

This file
----
  let f x = x *. 1.0

produces amd64 assembly code that is rejected by "as" from binutils
2.21.0.20110302.

I'll report it to the upstream BTS.
