Re: [m68k] Remove SGS assembler support

It would be a trivial change for the OpenBSD m68k assembler to accept and ignore an optional register prefix. It can already handle a required register prefix.

I suppose it depends upon how much the gcc cleanup is worth.

The most valuable cleanup would be removing the distinction between MOTOROLA and MIT syntaxes. This could be done once the OpenBSD/m68k platforms migrate to binutils 2.x, or when they are dropped ;-)
