Unfortunately that version of gcc/gas/bfd/binutils has a bug
in not allowing the 'l' on "pushl %ebp", "popl %ebp", "pushfl".
(They changed gcc and binutils together to omit the 'l',
but forgot that the rest of the world requires
backward compatibility with the old spellings of the opcodes.)

Either change the source to remove the 'l' on the indicated lines,
or upgrade to gcc-4.8.x.
