Building G++ 1.34.2 on a Sun 386 has found a bug in the Sun assembler that
cplus-parse.tab.c runs afoul of. GCC creates a .file directive of:
	.file	"cplus-parse.tab.c"
The Sun as claims this is too long. Sun cc truncates the .file directive:
	.file	"us-parse.tar.c"

Apparently the Sun as restricts file names to 14 characters, perhaps a 
imported restriction from System V. 

This bug is not really a GNU bug, but it would be nice if all file names
were kept under 14 characters, so those of us who occasionally use S V 
machines would have an easier time of it.
