Because on non i386-linux targets, '/' is used as a comment delimiter
for compatibility purposes. This can be overridden with the --divide
switch.
Since the default for gas on these platforms is to use he division
operator as a comment delimiter, the "-Wa,--divide" flags need to be
passed on the gcc command line when assembling such files.
Can we just use>> 1 instead?
