Re: [PATCH v7 37/39] kselftest/arm64: Add a GCS stress test

I'm going a bit out-of-order to report a build failure in a test:

I get an assembler error here:

gcc -nostdlib gcs-stress-thread.S -o /home/thiago.bauermann/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/arm64/gcs/gcs-stress-thread
gcs-stress-thread.S: Assembler messages:
gcs-stress-thread.S:236: Error: unexpected end of file in macro `recurse' definition
make[2]: *** [Makefile:24: /home/thiago.bauermann/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/arm64/gcs/gcs-stress-thread] Error 1

This is with gas from Ubuntu 22.04, which ships binutils 2.38.
