  So you want to use "Motorola Syntax", instead of "MIT Syntax" ?

  It would be nice to have multi-syntax assember, but as it is intended
as back-back-end for GCC, nobody has bothered with such major feature...,
and as I haven't seen a word from FSF that such feature is desirable and
would be incorporated to future versions, I won't invest my time for just
a one-shot case..

  May I propose you to make a LEXX err.. FLEX .. filter for it ?
