Certainly.  I would guess you had some sort of configuration or build
problem with the version of gas you are running.

I built from the current 2.11 CVS sources (admittedly this is a later
version than the 2.11 release, but I couldn't see any changes relevant
to your problem later than 2000-08-09), using

/src/binutils-2.11/configure --prefix=/usr --build=i586-linux --host=i586-linux --target=i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1 --disable-nls

$ gas/as-new -V -Qy /dev/null
GNU assembler version 2.11 (i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1) using BFD version 2.11
$ gas/as-new -BAD /dev/null
gas/as-new: unrecognized option `-BAD'
