The MIT syntax is the one that GNU tools originally supported.
I thought by now gas supports both syntaxes, but are both still
being maintained?  Another question is: which syntax do our
dis-assemblers (in gdb and binutils) emit?  Obviously, our
toolchain should be self-consistent.  It's silly for our
compiler to only support Motorola syntax while gdb emits
(only or by default) MIT syntax or vice versa.
