The problem is the shift

.set .L9, .LA

works

.set .L9, .LA >> 0

causes the problem you are experiencing

the code wants .L9 to equal the number of 32-bit values between .LA and 
x.L4, plus 9 ( for reasons best known to itself. )

doing this by hand reveals the problem

the assembler does not like the fact that the values of the labels are 
not absolute

that is to say you are performing operations on values which haven't 
been established yet.
