--- Comment #1 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
It is not an error.
The $ is a prefix, and not part of the name. (It gets a bit confusing, because
a $ sign *can* be part of a name; if it is the first character it needs another
$ to escape it, i.e. $$ret creates a label named "$ret".)
This is not an academic distinction, either: "foo" and "$foo" will match the
same label, and "$ret" is exported as "ret" in external symbol tables.
