What does the assembler/linker expect? What do you get from a C file
containing
static const uint16_t t[4] = {1,2,3,4};
?

That sounds like an ancient version of gas. Searching for it turns up
a fred fish CD from 1994. I most likely had it installed back in the
days. See
http://ftp.back2roots.org/back2roots/cds/fred_fish/freshfish_vol05_9407/gnu/src/baseline/
But it must have been patched heavily by Apple if it supports x86_64...
I'd strongly suggest first trying to build with modern gcc and binutils,
before trying to find workarounds for apple's tools.
