     I got
     
     [hjl@gnu-cfl-1 gas]$ cat x.s
     nop
     [hjl@gnu-cfl-1 gas]$ ./as-new -o x.o x.s -m68hcs12
     [hjl@gnu-cfl-1 gas]$ ../binutils/objdump -dw x.o
     
     x.o:     file format elf32-m68hc12
     
     
     Disassembly of section .text:
     
     00000000 <.text>:
        0: a7          nop
     [hjl@gnu-cfl-1 gas]$
     
     Am I missing something?
     
After applying commit 8f065d3b4a814b5a69b3f39700fea7034c79c492dd
the problem seems to have been fixed.

Thanks.
