[Bug gas/11507] New: altmacro: wrong string interpretation

[theorizer at freemail dot hu]

On the macro below 'as' prints infinite number of the following error message
test.S:3: Error: `' was already used as parameter (or another local) name

        .altmacro
        .macro ABC              
                .print "local "
        .endm

        ABC

It's perhaps about that the interpreter thinks the "local" word in the string of
.print is an altmacro directive and as such it has to be carried out. Note,
there is a space after local.
I've experienced this behavior with binutils 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 on 64-bit and
32-bit gentoo linux as well as on windows xp in cygwin environment (binutils
2.19 and 2.20)
