weird staff in binutils symbol value caculation

[daniel tian]

Hello, all:
          I just ported the binutils to my NEW RISC machine. Now the
assemble codes were compiled with this tools.
          But here is the stuff I just found out:
          .equ	REF_FRAMES_BUFFER_SIZE			,
((6*DISPLAY_SCALED)+(12*(DISPLAY_SCALED==NO)))
           When the DISPLAY_SCALED and DISPLAY_SCALED, and NO are 0x0.
           But the value REF_FRAMES_BUFFER_SIZE is to be -12.
           When I hacked the gas, I found the expr.c:
case O_eq:
	      resultP->X_add_number =
		resultP->X_add_number == v ? ~ (offsetT) 0 : 0;
	      break;
	    case O_ne:
	      resultP->X_add_number =
		resultP->X_add_number != v ? ~ (offsetT) 0 : 0;
	      break;
	    case O_lt:
	      resultP->X_add_number =
		resultP->X_add_number <  v ? ~ (offsetT) 0 : 0;
	      break;
	    case O_le:
	      resultP->X_add_number =
		resultP->X_add_number <= v ? ~ (offsetT) 0 : 0;
	      break;
	    case O_ge:
	      resultP->X_add_number =
		resultP->X_add_number >= v ? ~ (offsetT) 0 : 0;
	      break;
	    case O_gt:
	      resultP->X_add_number =
		resultP->X_add_number >  v ? ~ (offsetT) 0 : 0;
	      break;

                     which means when the condition is true, the value
will be -1(0xFFFFFFFF). If I want to make the value to be 0x1, when
the condition is true. Do I have to rewrite this part? or Is there
anyway, I can deal with. I just afraid when I revised this part, some
other bugs will come about.
                     thanks.
