FYI -- I checked in a patch a week or so ago to check for .weak support
and properly enable/disable its use in the PA port.

Certain assembly instructions have multiple possible encodings, when you
changed assemblers you got one that encoded those instructions differently
than the old one.

THe proper (long term) form for instrutions is "ldw, stw, etc", not
"ldwm, stws, etc"
