Probably some debian patches messed it up.  I'd suggest reporting that
to them.  FWIW, the unmodified assembler gives this error when operating
in 32bit mode:

$ echo 'sldi 0,0,10' | as
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:1: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `rldicr'

But just addding -many (which gcc always passes) will let the assembler
accept this.

Andreas.
