It is seen as one pile of errors :

$ cat -n hack.s
     1          .section        ".text"
     2          .globl  main
     3  main:   or      %dl, %al
     4          and     %dl, %al
     5          xor     %dl, %al
     6          orb     %dl, %al
     7          andb    %dl, %al
     8          xorb    %dl, %al
     9          ret
