The first problem is the patched assemebler failed "make check" for
x86-64. I got

/net/gnu//export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-inval.s:
Assembler messages:
/net/gnu//export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-inval.s:3: Warning: `aaa' is not supported in 64-bit mode
/net/gnu//export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-inval.s:3: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `aaa'

instead of

/net/gnu//export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-inval.s:
Assembler messages:
/net/gnu//export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-inval.s:3: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `aaa'

I would prefer just

/net/gnu//export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-inval.s:
Assembler messages:
/net/gnu//export/linux/src/binutils/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-inval.s:3: Error: `aaa' is not supported in 64-bit mode
