"tmp-divrem_2.s", line 116 : Syntax error ???

[Dennis Clarke]

By now, on this maillist, people are about ready to just filter my email
out altogether. Call me the last of the die hard types that simply wants
to do things a certain way.

Here is the story.

I knew that Sun Studio 11, at least on x86, would need to make use of the
.asm files in the source tree. That means it would fail of course. For one
reason or another.

I tried a build with GCC 4.3.3 and binutils and every test passed,
everything works.

I went back and tried with Studio 11 and saw this :

 /opt/studio/SOS11/SUNWspro/bin/cc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I../../../gmp-4.3.1/mpn -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I../../../gmp-4.3.1

I don't see anything wrong with that assembly line which is a simple
logical or of two registers. Nothing fancy at all.

I go and look at the source :

$ cat -n ../../gmp-4.3.1/mpn/x86/divrem_2.asm

      here comes the "syntax error" :-\

    84          or      %dl, %al

      did you see it ?  no?  I don't either.

    85          jne     L(35)
    86  L(8):
    87          mov     60(%esp), %esi          C fn

   176          setae   %al
   177          or      %dl, %al

    line 177 is another syntax error.

   178          je      L(bck)
   179          inc     %edi
   180          sub     20(%esp), %ebp

   187          jmp     L(8)
   188  EPILOGUE()


Not too sure what to do at this point.

Any thoughts ?
