I can if you are sure you want it. It will of course break any
assembly source you have that happens to use / to start comments
anywhere except the first column.
Please make the change. There is no really good reason why we should
differ from GNU/Linux in this regard. And if anything breaks, it will
be fixed.

I can add that too. It won't make a difference on most targets.
eg. tc-i386.h defines LOCAL_LABELS_FB too.
Since it doesn't make a difference, I guess it is just easier to leave
it as it is.
Thank you.
