The GNU assembler doesn't support "fp" as an alias for "x29" so it's
complaining about that load instruction.  Similarly "lr" is an alias
for "x30".

Libunwind in trunk has been fixed to be compatible with GNU now (the
instruction is "ldp x28, x29, [x0, #0x0e0]" etc) but obviously that
happened after 3.8 branched (it *was* quite a while ago, you're almost
always better using the latest release for LLVM). There'll be a
similar errors in UnwindRegistersSave.S.

Cheers.

Tim.
