That's binutils bug#620448.  If you put this script somewhere before
/usr/bin on your $PATH, make it executable, and name it "as", that
should work around it.

	#!/bin/sh
	exec /usr/bin/as --size-check=warning "$@"

If you're using gcc 4.6, the changes from de2a8cf9 (e.g., grab it
using "git cherry-pick de2a8cf9") and b1d670f10e80 are also needed.

Thanks for your work,
Jonathan
