While I'm in favor of fixing such typos, the Itanium Assembly Language
Reference Manual states:
"The assembler ignores the name operands of the
directive."
(page 35 of document 248801-004).
In my opinion, a warning might be in place, but a hard error for
something that the spec explicitly allows seems like a bad idea to me.
