As pointed out by Richard, I believe the problem exists when building
gcc2 as well - which prevents people from creating a binary-compatible
version of Haiku on a gcc4.3.x host.

I'm guessing we should probably just look into the gas compile issue
and patch the offending code at this point. Unfortunately I'm not that
person, and I don't even have this gcc on my host, so I just wanted to
raise the issue so that others are aware of it :)
