The reason for this is probably that gcc/config/arm/aout.h has:

/* Arm Assembler barfs on dollars.  */
#define DOLLARS_IN_IDENTIFIERS 0

See also http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24111 which if I
read it correctly says that what is done with GCJ on ARM violates EABI
rules...

Is this something that can/should be fixed?
