gnupic: Thread: gpasm problem with EQU results in parse error

I recently built gputils 0.11.0, and am having problems with EQU, as 
seen below.
environment is a Linux (Mandrake 9.0)

Any help, questions or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you
Michael

Place the label for the EQU in column 1 and it will assemble without
errors.

There is an open bug report in Sourceforge covering it:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=564641&group_id=41924&atid=431665

gpasm is operating according to the mpasm user manual.  The argument is
a label and all labels must start on column 1.  Some people like to
indent their labels for readability.  So mpasm supports this
undocumented feature.  It generates a warning and continues.

Eventually this feature will be added to gpasm, but for me it has a very
low priority.  It will require a hack in the parser that won't be very
pretty.  I also have a personal bias.  IMHO, all labels should go in
column 1.  For these reasons, I havn't been too excited about making the
change.

For this specific application, you might want to use cblock or res.
