Could you please bring that in sync for us as well?

Do you know of other issues (in the whole binutils package) where the GNU
system differs from the GNU/Linux system? 

Having a look at the source code I found [gas]/config/te-linux.h, but no
[gas]/config/te-gnu.h or similar.
E.g. in the Linux file, `LOCAL_LABELS_FB' is defined to `1'.  Do we also
need that?
