According to Christian Bockermann:

I have installed version 2.3 of the gnu assembler (gas) but now I get an error when compiling my pograms. I wrote a little test program like this :

program test; var ch : char; begin ch:='x'; writeln(ch); end.

This program compiles well on my box. (Uh - I hate non-reproducable errors!)-:

I am using version 2.8.1 of the GNU assembler. Maybe that's the problem?

If you upgrade and the error is still there, it could be a good idea to run `gpc' with the options `-v --automake=-v'.

Hope this helps,

Peter
