    Sure enough, it's an Assembler problem :) The AIX 3.2 assembler has
    the same problem that the AIX 3.1.x assembler had. What I did to make
    it work was just replace the AIX 3.2 version of /bin/as with the fixed
    assembler I had for AIX 3.1.6 (APAR IX22829). Works great.

This is correct.  The documentation states that the new assembler is
also required for AIX 3.2.  In fact, from the latest README.RS6000 (to
be in GCC 2.2):

  A second upgrade is in the works that will replace IX22829 and fix two
  more problems with debug information.  There's no scheduled
  availability yet, but it's probably summer '92.  Ask for the fix for
  APAR IX26107, "Don't allow .csect name[BS] or [UC]"

As far as I know, these patched assemblers will continue to lead the ones
distributed with AIX.  I will continue to track the situation.
