Comment (by boost@…):

 This would theoretically solve the problem reported in #11573.

 I found [https://www.cs.uaf.edu/2011/fall/cs301/lecture/11_21_PowerPC.html

 this page] describing the syntax of the Apple assembler, `as`, which is
 what would most likely be used on OS X. The page mentions that the "`%`"
 syntax is what is used in the GNU assembler, `gas`. So it sounds like
 "`%r3`" is not a typo, but merely syntax for the wrong brand of assembler.
