"causing problems"? How? The source file is already tracked so "git add" to record updates to it would work just fine, and "git status" would report "modified" for it, with or without "*.S" in the .gitignore file, no?

    To emulate, I just added ".*S" to .gitignore and modified
    ppc/sha1ppc.S to double check whta happens.

We still have the build rule for %.s in our Makefile, so ignoring ".s" is still the right thing to do to make sure "git add dir/" won't add "dir/frotz.s" by accident. I sense the downside of doing so outweighs whatever benefit it would have on case incapable filesystems (and it is unclear what problem this change is trying to work around).
