Torbjorn,
   I can confirm that the attached mod_34lsub1.fixed.s can be compiled
with 'as -arch x86_64' on the following Apple Xcode releases...

Xcode 4.5.2 on darwin12
Xcode 4.5.2 on darwin11
Xcode 4.2 on darwin10
Xcode 3.2.6 on darwin10
Xcode 3.1.4 on darwin9

I don't have darwin8 available to check Xcode 2.5 but David Fang
can probably check that for us.
