how to get rid of dot symbols

[Dmitry <diwil at eis dot ru>]

Fellows,

I am trying to write a support for msp430 series mcus.
I almost done it, exept I got several problems:

1. When I define a label as ".LabelN", the assembler treats it as defined symbol.
   For example, AVR port of binutils does not do that.
The part of code:
--------------------------------
        .file   "s.c"
        .arch msp430x149
Stack   = 0x03ff
        .text
.global aaa
        .type   aaa,@function
aaa:
                mov @r15, r1
                mov #4321, &1234
.L_3:           mov r7, r11
                mov #0x0000, 0x0002
                cmp.b   #1, r6
                mov #mmm, r15
                jnz  aaa
                br   .L_3
.Lfe1:
        .size   aaa,.Lfe1-aaa
--------------------------------
the assembler output:
shell$ msp430-as  -asl s.s
DEFINED SYMBOLS
                            *ABS*:00000000 s.c
                            *ABS*:000003ff Stack
                 s.s:7      .text:00000000 aaa
                 s.s:10     .text:00000008 L_3
                 s.s:16     .text:0000001a Lfe1
                            *ABS*:00000000 *ABS*

UNDEFINED SYMBOLS
mmm


2. If my label followed by an empty line, assembler crashes at write.c:997
   on bfd_install_relocation().

My port is base don AVRs one and I did relocations and stuff like in AVR.
AVR port is free of these problems.

Is there a variable which should be defined or so to get rid of dot symbols?
(in the example above - Lfe1 and L_3)

Thanks in advance,
Dmitry.
