Comment 1 Nick Clifton 2012-10-23 09:58:10 UTC

The bug was also reported on the FSF bugzilla system:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14575

A patch has been checked in to the mainline and 2.23 branch sources.

binutils-2.23.51.0.3-3.fc19 contains a reduced version of this patch (which fixes the assembler, but does not update the ARM GAS testsuite).  Once a new release of the FSF binutils source tarball is available this reduced patch will become redundant.
