Re: [patch] m68k: Use ASSEMBLER_DIALECT

Some time ago I posted a patch, which replaced all of these simply with
jeq, but Jeff had some objections, which I still don't understand. The
point here is that this has nothing to do with the official MOTOROLA
syntax - both variants jeq and jbeq are assembler pseudo ops and the only
supported assembler left is gas, so it would be far simpler and easier to
support to clean this up properly and just use one of these pseudo ops.
Even more time ago, I proposed to kill off the Motorola syntax,
but it turned out that OpenBSD/m68k were still using an old version
of as which didn't support the MIT syntax. For some reason related
to security, they wanted to keep using the old as along with the
latest versions of GCC.
If OpenBSD finally upgraded their assembler, then we could get
rid of the assembly variant altogether.
AmigaOS, which is an unofficial port, also defaults to the
Motorola syntax, but they use a recent gas so they wouldn't
notice if we switch.
