Thanks for your report.

This seems to afflict all coff targets, not just m68k.  In fact the assembler 
crashes if you feed it just that single source line.

bash-2.04$ ./as-new 
# 0
Segmentation fault
bash-2.04$ 

The problem seems to be that a line number of zero is treated in some ghastly 
special way by do_linenos_for().  See about line 3353 of gas/config/obj-coff.c.
But I don't really understand exactly what this code is about so I'm not even 
going to try to fix it.
