That seems to indicate that llvm-as is not compatible with the LLVM
assembly generated by Clang, probably because llvm-as is more modern
than clang or vice-versa.

Check that Clang and LLVM are built from the source code that
corresponds to roughly the same date and time.

Failing that, show the exact commands you use for executing clang and
llvm-as, along with the output of `clang --version' and `llvm-as
--version'.
