The standard format for this is:
	ldr	rd, =value

without a '#' and has been that way for as long as I remember binutils
accepting that format.  It's entirely possible that later binutils has
decided to be a bit more flexible by allowing the '#' in there, but
that's something which will be incompatible with older versions.

Best loose the '#' in there.
