Problem with -f option and #APP


There is a bug in gas whereby the following fails when assembled with -f:

#APP
/* This code has a comment */
#NO_APP
etc....


What happens is that the input_file_open routine in gas/input-file.c looks at
the first char in the file.  If it finds a '#', it reads in the next char,
looking for 'N' (start of NO_APP).  If this fails, it puts back the '#', but
unfortunately, it has eaten the first char after # which in this case is 'A'.
This causes the line to be read as #PP which is ignored and so
the comment on line 2 causes an error due to the -f option.

I have prepared a patch which accounts for the possibility that the first line
might be #APP.  It also fixes a potential bug whereby the previous code was assuming that
the line must be #NO_APP\n.  The new patch allows whitespace after #APP or #NO_APP.

Ok to check in?
