To clarify, I think the right solution to this "problem" is getting
binutils to remove support for this incorrect syntax. If they can't do
that immediately they should deprecate it (with a warning) and remove
it later.

I'd reluctantly go along with us adding it temporarily for
compatibility with such a warning. But this needs to be discussed with
GNU folks first.

Cheers.

Tim.
