Rafael,
I see. I don't object to switch -integrated-as by default. It's good
and what I'd like to do.
To give an error to -no-integrated-as, could you file bugzilla for
this issue, "incompatibilities to gnu as"?
(llc is already affected.)

Bill,
At least, release_34/r195823 (master/r195798) should be reverted.
