[Bug other/19638] New: GNU assembler command line failure

[qty154 at yahoo dot com]

The new option --alternate is handled incorrect. If I issue a command like this:
> powerpc-eabi-elf-as -mregnames -o a.o -ahl=a.lst a.s
then a.s is assembled OK and the list goes to a.lst.
If I write this: (leaving out -a sub-options)
> powerpc-eabi-elf-as -mregnames -o a.o -a=a.lst a.s
then I get the failure:
> powerpc-eabi-elf-as: option '-alternate' doesn't allow an argument
I guess -alternate should actually be --alternate.
This problem came out first when migrating from 2.95.2 where --alternate option
didn't exist.
