[Bug-gnu-utils] Bugs in IA-64 Linux assembler

[Rowan, Tom]

I'm attaching two files that demonstrate four bugs or capabilities not
implemented yet in the GNU assembler for IA-64 Linux.  

fpcmp_pseudo.s demonstrates that four fpcmp pseudo-ops (only one of which is
uncommented) are not recognized by the assembler. 

misc_bugs.s demonstrates three other misc problems.
        1) Fails to recognize "R0" as equivalent to "r0" in cmp.eq.unc.
        2) Fails to recognize "::" to make label global.
        3) Fails to recognize immediate form of dep.

I'm appending the assembler version and output from attempting to assemble
the two files.
