Intel has run gas through their DV testsuite, identified a number of bugs, and wrote patches for them. Unfortunately, I can't use the Intel patches without FSF copyright assignments, and it isn't clear when this issue will be resolved. Meanwhile, Red Hat doesn't have anyone actively working on the assembler, so we are waiting to see if we can use the Intel patches, and we will probably wait quite a while before giving up and doing the work ourselves.
