Andreas, I've finally gotten around to merging your changes into the
gputils SVN repository. They're included in rev 510. A few more details
are attached in the patch tracker:
https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1752107
My fault for missing the 0.13.5 release, but I plan to release 0.14.0
soon with all of these new features.
@all: Please test extensively ('gpasm -C' generates new-style COFF).

I didn't touch this issue, but it probably makes sense to treat it
separately. For one thing, it would help if whoever made the changes
had a different platform that had size-related failures so that we
could do at least a little testing. Also, I believe the size changes
affect more than just the lines changed in the patch.
If you'd like to revisit the issue yourself, I promise to get it into
SVN right away this time =).
