gas for ColdFire m5407, mov3q and move

[John Kernthaler]

Gentlemen
        There appear to be some 'bugs' in gas with the -m5407 option.

The syntax for mov3q is  mov3q #<data>,<ea>x where data is -1,1..7
gas only allows data values 1..8. 

The following forms of the move instruction are allowed
        move.b  #<data>,d16(An)
        move.b #,data>,d16(An)
gas allows the illegal
        move.l #<data>,d16(An)
and generates a 4 word instruction which is not allowed on ColdFire

Also gas allows
        move.sz (xxx).l,d16(An)
which again generates 4 words

I have been using gas from the 010911 snapshot; it is running on a PARISC
workstation under HPUX.

Your comments would be appreciated
Regards
John Kernthaler
