The 2 at the end means that this is returning to the previous file.  The
compiler will emit this construct after inline assembler to indicate to
the assembler that the subsequent source is from the original file.
This is only done if the configure tests run at the time the compiler is
configured indicate that the assembler supports it.

The GCC patch for this is here:

It sounds like you are using a compiler configured and built with one
version of the assembler and used with a different, older version of the
assembler.  That normally works, but this is a case where it doesn't.

Obviously gas 2.15 is fairly old.  The current version is 2.22.
