Hi caij,

  Which version of the binutils are you using for these tests ?

  When I tried to reproduce the problem using the current development sources I
received the message "Error: too many positional arguments" for each invocation
of foo.

  I did however find a variation that worked and did not have any behavioural
inconsistencies:

.macro foo insn:vararg
\insn
.endm

        foo .word (XXX) 
        foo .word 0x1234
        foo .section sec1

Using the :vararg suffix to tell the macro processor to use all of the text as
a single argument (inside the macro) preserves spaces and results in the output
that you would expect.

Cheers
  Nick
