FreeBSD hades.nmss.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Apr 26 12:21:11 EDT 2001     spotvin@hades.nmss.com:/mnt/0/usr/local/users/spotvin/work/FreeBSD/obj.current/mnt/0/usr/local/users/spotvin/work/FreeBSD/src.current/sys/HADES  i386

>Description:
gensetdefs.pl uses the '@' character in the '.type' assembler directive it creates. Unfortunately, the '@' character is the comment character for ARM assemblers.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile a file generated by gensetdefs.pl with the arm-elf-gcc295 port.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to gensetdefs.pl that changes the '@' character to the '%' character. This works for i386 and ARM. It is not tested on alpha and ia64 platforms.
