I came across this bug randomly. It seems all upstream bugs but #125 and #126 are fixed, and Yasm 0.7.0 has just been released.

But since NASM is once again maintained and active, is this necessary?

Well, if nasm continues to be maintained then maybe not, but so far yasm seems to be where the mind share has gone.  We'll see.

Update:

It seems only #126 is open now (checked only #125 and #126 as per your comment).
