m68k-ColdFire(m5200) code gen bug

Hi,
I've roughly isolated the following bit of code which generates invalid
assembler when compiled for Motorola ColdFire and any optimisation level.
short int MyFunc(char index1)
{
unsigned char AnArray[2];
short int param;
param = (AnArray[index1] << 4) | (AnArray[index1]);
return(param);
}
is compiled with "m68k-coff-gcc -S -m5200 -O2 test.c" to:
MyFunc:
link.w %a6,#-4
move.b 11(%a6),%d0
extb.l %d0
move.b -2(%a6,%d0.l),%d0
and.w #0xFF,%d0 <--- invalid on ColdFire architecture
move.l %d0,%d1
lsl.l #4,%d1
or.l %d1,%d0
and.l #4095,%d0
unlk %a6
rts
This was build using --target=m68k-coff compiler built from the EGCS source
obtained via CVS on Monday morning(2/3/98) running under cygwin32 beta 19.
When I try to assemble this file binutils-2.8.1.0.18 gives:
G:\TEMP\cc001120.s: Assembler messages:
G:\TEMP\cc001120.s:12: Error: invalid instruction for this architecture;
needs 68000 or higher -- statement `and.w #0xFF,%d0' ignored
Which I believe to be correct(although I don't have my ColdFire programmer's
manual handy). John Adamson(adamson@enter.net) originally found the problem
but on an older version of a compiler that I built.
