Thank you, Szabolcs.

It's GAS-only flag, clang's integrated-as doesn't support it. I can use 
-no-integrated-as.

It also expose other errors:

src/thread/arm/atomics.s:9: Error: cannot use register index with 
PC-relative addressing -- `ldr ip,[pc,ip]'

Clang's integrated-as accepts it but seems encoded incorrectly.

I can fix it.
