I asked about this on linux-arm at lists.arm.linux.org.uk. This is what

This program is buggy - '@' is used as the comment character for ARM, so
everything after that is ignored.  The assembler therefore sees:

	.type operatingsystem_result,

which is garbage.  The GNU assembler targetted for ARM accepts '#' or 
'%' here, not '@'.

Is there anyone who can give a hint where to look to fix this ?
