binutils 2.14a i370 gas literal issue

[Paul Edwards]

I am aware that 2.14a is out of support, and I am also aware
that the i370 target of gas is no longer supported at all on the
modern binutils.

However, if someone is interested in helping resolve this
issue "for old time's sake", that would be great.

Basically the issue is - where did all my C1 disappear to?

Note that I am using a slightly modified 2.14a - the modifications
can be found in binutils-stage* in custom.zip from pdos.org and
the precompiled binaries that are run below are available in
customb.zip from pdos.org

I don't know what the situation is with other versions of binutils.

Thanks. Paul.
