The assembly source produced for mp_x86_64bits.ads is only about 10
lines long, so I don't understand this one.

Compiling mpfr-floats.adb with FSF GCC 6.1.0 and

   gnatmake -c-u -f mpfr-floats.adb -cargs -S

the first few of the complaints in your original posting are lines of
the form

	movq	%xmm0, %rax
        
	movq	%rax, %xmm0

which (after some googling) look legal to me, and are accepted by the
assembler. What do you get?

Are you using the right assembler? I have

/usr/bin/as
