Comment:

 Confirmed on my Leopard G4. The problem seems to be that some of the lines
 they've added to the assembler source files in R15B contain comments, like
 this:

 {{{
         STORE   r4, P_ARG0(r3)          # Store BIF__ARGS in def_arg_reg[]
 }}}

 And the assembler doesn't like those comments. Another report of this kind
 of problem is [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122952 here].
 There, they fixed the problem by removing the comments, but I think the
 problem is just that "#" is not a valid start-of-comment character in this
 context, at least not for the assembler that's on PowerPC Macs. I Googled
 examples of PowerPC assembly code, and they use ";" as the start-of-
 comment character. Here's a patch that makes this change, and now it
 builds for me. I haven't tested on Tiger yet.
