These were (intentionally) stripped by "fix CFI macro invocations to
deal with shortcomings in gas" to expose problems with unexpected
splitting of arguments by older gas also on newer versions, but as it
turns out there is at least one distro (Ubuntu 6.06) where even not
having *any* spaces in a macro argument doesn't reliably prevent
splitting into multiple arguments.
