Yes, you're right. I wasn't aware of that.

Sadly no... AIX assembler wants the 3rd argument of an addis to be absolute. 
Thus, it's using a different syntax when it's not. 
To be precise, "addis RT, RA, SI" is allowed only if SI is an absolute and
"addis RT, D(RA)" is allowed only if D is a label/symbol having a relocation. 
Thus, I need to find a way to allow both in GNU as. 
I agree that my solution isn't the best one, but I didn't find any way to 
add an opcode in ppc-opc.c. 
If you have any idea how to do it properly, I would be glad. Otherwise, 
I will have to use this approach..
