You should check that the assembler actually understands that option.
Currently it is impossible to build an aarch64-linux compiler with
binutils from the binutils-2_23 branch.

Ah, I didn't think too much at then on the backward compatibility issue 
with binutils-2_23.  One potential solution can be to backport part of 
configury change from binutils trunk to 2_23.  Can I ask if there is any 
particular reason that you wouldn't like to build the trunk compiler 
with the trunk binutils?  Also since binutils 2.24 release shall not be 
far away, would you be happy to wait for that instead?

Thanks,
