using gas assembler for motorolla 68hc11 chips

[jaH saaymi]

The as info pages hint that the cross-platform compiler is
able to produce code for 68hc11 microcontroller.

To enable this "option", i.e. to assemble code for hc11
do i have to recompile the as code from source or can i
turn it on in any binary i have. I have installed RedHat
8.0 in my PC, and the options for motorolla 68hc11 do not
seem to be working?

Is this the right place to ask?

Thankyou in advance.
