Re: Fixes for ARM gas testsuite

[Richard Earnshaw <rearnsha at arm dot com>]

Nick,

Can we avoid references to sections such as .rdata?  a.out doesn't have 
these sections which makes the test unsuitable for targets based on those 
platforms.  For these tests, what is wrong with just pushing the data into 
the text segment?

Also I think it would be better to avoid labels beginning with '.', since 
I doubt these are valid either.

R.
