The gcc I compiled generated wrong assembly code on Windows.
This gcc is Canadian compiled from Ubuntu, and I did not apply any patches on https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages.

The problem is this line (and it’s not line number 39, as in your
error message):

    .ascii "Hello world!\^@"^M (as displayed by Emacs)

The last few characters in hex: 5c 00 22 0d 0a. There is a 00 byte
after the backslash for some reason.
