RE: Assembling Power instructions: dcbtst/dcbt.


Hello Peter,

 I do see the same issue using 2.23.52.20130913 configured --target=ppc64-redhat-linux
 and obtained by doing: git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils.git I also tried
 ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/snapshots/binutils.tar.bz2 (09/13/2013) Would these
 be different from the trunk?

 Yes, orthogonal to -m<CPU> although, a colleague suggested: --isa-environment
 instead.

 Thanks again!
