As it turns out, the bits of half-remembered gas were right. It was a
problem with the .balign and .rept statements not being present in the
version of gas used by Apple.
The fix is fairly simple, although a bit tedious.
* All instances of ".balign 16" need to be replaced
with ".align 4".
* All instances of ".rept 8"/".endr" need to be unrolled
into linear statements, since Apple gas doesn't
understand .rept. E.g.:
.rept 2
.foo
.endr
... gets unrolled into
.foo
.foo
Hopefully this problem will get fixed by the liboil guys at freedesktop.
If not, then I hope this is useful to the next poor schmuck who gets to
wrestle with the problem. Enjoy!
