The Motorola 680x0 version of as has a few machine
dependent options:
-l
-l option to shorten the size of references to undefined
symbols. If you do not use the -l option, references to undefined
symbols are wide enough for a full long (32 bits). (Since
as cannot know where these symbols end up, as can
only allocate space for the linker to fill in later. Since as
does not know how far away these symbols are, it allocates as much space as it
can.) If you use this option, the references are only one word wide (16 bits).
This may be useful if you want the object file to be as small as possible, and
you know that the relevant symbols are always less than 17 bits away.
--register-prefix-optional
% before any use of a register name. This
is intended to let the assembler distinguish between C variables and
functions named a0 through a7, and so on. The % is
always accepted, but is not required for certain configurations, notably
sun3. The --register-prefix-optional option may be used
to permit omitting the % even for configurations for which it is
normally required. If this is done, it will generally be impossible to
refer to C variables and functions with the same names as register
names.
--bitwise-or
| is treated as a comment character, which
means that it can not be used in expressions. The --bitwise-or
option turns | into a normal character. In this mode, you must
either use C style comments, or start comments with a # character
at the beginning of a line.
--base-size-default-16 --base-size-default-32
as will normally use the full 32 bit value.
For example, the addressing mode %a0@(%d0) is equivalent to
%a0@(%d0:l). You may use the --base-size-default-16
option to tell as to default to using the 16 bit value.
In this case, %a0@(%d0) is equivalent to %a0@(%d0:w).
You may use the --base-size-default-32 option to restore the
default behaviour.
--disp-size-default-16 --disp-size-default-32
as will normally assume that
the value is 32 bits. For example, if the symbol disp has not
been defined, as will assemble the addressing mode
%a0@(disp,%d0) as though disp is a 32 bit value. You may
use the --disp-size-default-16 option to tell as
to instead assume that the displacement is 16 bits. In this case,
as will assemble %a0@(disp,%d0) as though
disp is a 16 bit value. You may use the
--disp-size-default-32 option to restore the default behaviour.
--pcrel
as needs a long branch
that is not available, it normally emits an absolute jump instead. This
option disables this substitution. When this option is given and no long
branches are available, only word branches will be emitted. An error
message will be generated if a word branch cannot reach its target. This
option has no effect on 68020 and other processors that have long branches.
see Branch Improvement.
-m68000
as can assemble code for several different members of the
Motorola 680x0 family. The default depends upon how as
was configured when it was built; normally, the default is to assemble
code for the 68020 microprocessor. The following options may be used to
change the default. These options control which instructions and
addressing modes are permitted. The members of the 680x0 family are
very similar. For detailed information about the differences, see the
Motorola manuals.

of the assembler.
