I get a substantially different empty.s (gcc-4.0.2, Fedora rawhide on i686):

        .file   "empty.c"
        .text
        .p2align 2,,3
.globl main
        .type   main, @function
main:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        subl    $8, %esp
        andl    $-16, %esp
        subl    $16, %esp
        xorl    %eax, %eax
        leave
        ret
        .size   main, .-main
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 4.0.2 20050928 (Red Hat 4.0.2-1)"
        .section        .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits

binutils-2.16.91.0.2-4 doesn't. It looks like you are using broken tools.
