gas, not gcc. But yeah, maybe we can do that. How long has this space
breakage been going on? If it's a "we got a report from this one guy"
kind of thing, then just saying "we don't support old gas versions
because they are too broken" is probably the right thing to do.

No reason to make for maintenance problems and uglier code if we can
just say "get a newer gas" to a few people. It's not like we haven't
done that with gcc and other tools too.
