Yep, thanks for reporting this.

The Linux distro isn't that interesting. I expect most problems depending on
the compiler version. I've tested things with the older gcc 3.3.4. The 3.4.*
series is stricter and the the 4.0.* series even more so. In this case I
suspect gcc 4 has been used. Maybe we can update our gas/binutils. Oliver,
are you listening? Would you deem that unwise?
