GMP 4.2.4 fails with ABI=mode32 on powerpc970-unknown-linux-gnu

       Hi,

I tried compiling GMP 4.2.4 with ABI=mode32 on gcc40.fsffrance.org
(powerpc970-unknown-linux-gnu), but it fails, although configure did not cry:

zimmerma at gcc40:~/gmp-4.2.4$ ./configure --disable-shared ABI=mode32
...
zimmerma at gcc40:~/gmp-4.2.4$ make
...
 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_dive_1 -mpowerpc64 -Wa,-mppc64 -mcpu=970 -O3 -c dive_1.c -o dive_1.o
/tmp/ccxURvOI.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccxURvOI.s:62: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
/tmp/ccxURvOI.s:93: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
make[2]: *** [dive_1.lo] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zimmerma/gmp-4.2.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Note that everything is ok with ABI=32.

Is there any reason why ABI=mode32 is not tested at all on
http://gmplib.org/devel/testmachines.shtml?
