Can you send me that spe.s file which fails to compile? Also, which
version of binutils is used? As this error comes from binutils (as), and
not FPC itself, of course it could be that the generated assembly is
broken at that line. I have a local build of (cross-)binutils 2.27, which
I was using for testing. Maybe I should try with a newer one.

I do have a build of that unit locally, and it builds without an issue,
although admittedly, it's a cross build.
