OK, it's fairly easy to make gas report symbols associated with fixups
that it doesn't understand.  I'll look at it in a few hours - I'm off to
pick up a new car :)

This sort of bug is due to gas originally being written just to process
gcc output.  ie. gas lays no claim to being a general purpose assembler.
x86 gas had the same sort of behaviour a few years ago, and you might be
surprised to know I met with some resistance to making x86 gas more
general purpose.
