   The opcode for assembly instruction is written into a  structure called
   frag. I've never worked on binutils-2.11 but its at least the case
in 2.15. More info
  on frags can be got from gas/frags.h.

  When you say "fix" do you mean doing a fixup or you want to tamper with the
  object code of the already generated instruction ?

HTH,
