Hi all,

I'm trying to build current mainline git with gcc version 4.4.1 as a 
cross compiler and I'm getting the following:

   CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:1619: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
{standard input}:2074: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
{standard input}:2742: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
{standard input}:2855: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
{standard input}:2943: Error: junk at end of line: `1'

{standard input}:4915: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
{standard input}:4985: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
{standard input}:5087: Error: junk at end of line: `1'
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

Any ideas on how to deal with this?  Is this a code error or a compiler 
error?
