The new as is very strange. For the same asm code;
# as --32 -J -o old.o /home/hjl/work/linux/import/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/opcode.s
# ../as-new --32 -J -o dump.o /home/hjl/work/linux/import/binutils/gas/testsuite/gas/i386/opcode.s
# ls -l dump.o old.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 hjl users 87309 Nov 14 23:33 dump.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 hjl users 2973 Nov 14 23:33 old.o
Why does the new gas generate such a big file?
