Yes, it does and you're correct. Ugh.

Agreed. It's worth at least some discussion there before any decisions
are made. For now, I'll agree that other things need to be changed
external to gcc (kernel code and/or Makefiles, etc) before flipping this
option off, so we can just point at any further bug reports and say "bad
code, please fix" and mark them wishlist until the issue is decided upon
with upstream.
Ok, that makes sense to me then. I guess I'll expect a few gas bugs to be
filed sooner or later about this, but I can live with that :-)
Thanks for making me think about it more :-)
