I don't like the idea of putting '-' in mnemonic_chars.  I think it has
a high likelihood of breaking other valid assembly.  The gas app.c code
has a nasty habit of completely removing whitespace once past the
mnemonic of an instruction, and it can get confused.  Something like

 addr16 mov -2,%eax

might fail if '-' is a valid mnemonic char.
