Hmm.

A search for

	filds NEAR gas

on AltaVista turned up

	http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/gcc/1999-08/msg00533.html

which says:

	`filds' isn't an illegal instruction, however it is spelled differently
	depending on what assembler you are using.  Most assemblers seem to
	spell it `fild', some old versions of gas spell it `filds'.  The problem
	you've encountered can happen if configure finds a different assembler
	from what is used at run time.

so perhaps the version of GCC you're using, and the version of GAS that
version of GCC is using, are incompatible.
