No. The second asm will add a tab before the label `start'. Both
the HP and GNU PARISC assemblers require labels to start in column one.
Also, `.global' doesn't work with the HP assembler. It also doesn't
like a colon at the end of labels.
I think the following would work with most versions of gas:
asm (.global start\nstart: nop");
The problem with the original form was the `;'. It introduces a comment
on PA.
