Did you change anything in the sources of Binutils?  If so, post here
the changes that you did.  If not, did you build the original Binutils
2.9.1 as distributed by the GNU project, or some later development
snapshot?

I will look into the crash dumps and see what can I come up with.  In
the meantime, please try building the programs with Binutils 2.8.1.

These are the development versions of Binutils, not yet released
ones.  I won't recommend using them, because some of the changes
sometimes destabilize the package, and you won't know that until it's
too late.

You can always use .byte directives for opcodes not yet supported by
Gas.  I think it's much safer (unless you love messing with Binutils
bugs, that is ;-).
