[gnu.utils.bug] GAS doesn't recognize ".single" generated by GCC

rang@cpsin3.cps.msu.edu (Anton Rang) (02/18/89)

Sun-3/280, SunOS 3.4, gcc 1.33, gas 1.25 ("I guess").

Compiling the following program causes GCC to output a ".single"
directive.  This is recognized by Sun's compiler, but not by the GNU
assembler (unless there's a later version).  I'm crossposting this
message since I'm not sure which should be "fixed".

Yes, there's a later version.  Get gas 1.28 (I guess), which groks
.single in the same way that gcc 1.33 thinks it will.
