Adding support for AS argument "-force-long-branchs" for x86 arch

[Kristis Makris]

Hello,

I had requested to the GCC developers the feature of  adding support for
the -force-long-branchs argument in the AS assembler for the x86
architecture, as decsibed in
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12502. They have redirected
me to the binutils maintainers.

Please advice if adding this feature is possible. (Please read the
entire bugzilla entry)

Thanks,
Kristis
