Yes. The GNU assembler did not play nice with the build.

An inconvenience, but it's a small price for getting GCC to build at all.

I'll see if I can get GCC to build with the U5 maps. But keep in mind

freeze kiel before we do so there will be a catalog for U5, but it
will stop getting updates at some point.
