My apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate group for this
question... 

I'm going to be involved in some static analysis of MC68000 assembler
source code.  We will be using Refine, which accepts a BNF description
of a syntax and generates recognizers (and includes lots of hooks for
building analysi tools that decorate and analyze the AST produced).
Here's my question: was a simple BNF description of GAS source input
syntax used to help generate GAS?  If so, is that BNF description
available?  Any other suggestions?  Clearly the development of a "Refine
front end" for GAS assembler format is not a Herculean effort, but I've
been burned before my my oversights in simple tasks - I'd always rather
start with something that works...

Thanks very much,
    Chuck
