From the preliminary investigations I done on the Boris's machine,
it turns out that as(1) chokes on the "cas" instruction that looks
like "cas [%l0+12], %g2, %g1".  The instruction itself looks sane,
so I'll try to understand if as(1) has some bugs inside it or something
isn't good with the instruction itself.
