My mistake, I thought I could simplify that part. I assumed that, given flag
--version, GNU as would return (as opposed to as -v which would wait for
input), and that any other as would fail on the incorrect flag. On my test
machine, it works and I get

  GNU assembler version 2.7 (i586-unknown-linux), using BFD version 2.7.0.2

Sorry, and thanks for the patch.

It is correct. I changed the internal representation of aliases to avoid an
obscure bug reported by Igor Schein (memory corruption upon error recovery
when some specific combination of aliases and user functions were present on
the stack). I updated the regular benches, but forgot about the "all" test.
The heap increase is due to the statement

  alias(ln, log) 

in the 'all' bench, which I had forgotten (the 'compat' bench is correct
since it doesn't contain aliases...).

   Karim.
