That's OK, but shouldn't the patch be kept local until the assembler
can be fixed? Temporary workarounds really shouldn't go in the
mainline.
I know that the XCOFF powerpc assembler copes with bi-arch, so the
problem can't be too fundamental.
objcopy etc. should work just fine. They're certainly supposed to.
