That was the irony!

As in...
Even if you built the code, you would have probably used a Linaro 
toolchain and it would have worked like on my system.

  Forget it.  (mailing lists are so dry when it comes to humor)

Yes, I also get a failure:

arm-linux-gnueabihf-as /tmp/t.s -o /tmp/t.o
/tmp/t.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/t.s:2: Error: immediate expression requires a # prefix -- `mov r1,13'

But I think the answer is not that simple. 
You have no command line options.
