Here are lines 544 to 546 of localealias.s:

So I guess it didn't like the ,24,2 on the .comm line.

This assembler syntax is fairly common, and has been supported for a long time. It works fine if I build a cross assembler to m68k-linux from current FSF development sources.

Perhaps gas was miscompiled. It is also possible gas was misconfigured, but if so this would have to be pretty a pretty obvious error which should be easy to spot.

The flow in gas should be obj_elf_common, s_comm_internal, elf_common_parse, parse_align, and when parse_align returns, input_line_pointer should be pointing at the end of the input line (or perhaps pointing as whitespace). -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
