There are six of those in the file: the first one works and the rest fail.
This causes 5 * 16 bytes of fill to be missing from the output file.

Trying to get an assembler listing makes the problem go away:

$ as -o mutex.bad.o mutex.s
mutex.s: Assembler messages:

mutex.s:355: Warning: .space or .fill with negative value, ignored

mutex.s:574: Warning: .space or .fill with negative value, ignored

$ as -al -o mutex.good.o mutex.s >mutex.lst
