The assembler had issues with symbol definition loops. This commit fixes this issue and adds a test case (gas/testsuite/gas/i386/intel-equ-loop.s) to ensure that the fix doesn’t regress. The test defines symbols in terms of themselves to create a loop and checks that the assembler reports an error.
