Re: Revised patch for IA64 -mb-step option

options, rather than silently exiting unsuccessfully.  (N.B. the code
in gas/as.c handling an 0 return from md_parse_option appears to be
broken, but I'm not sure what the right fix is.  Unless the
expectation is that md_parse_option will have issued a diagnostic if
it returns 0, which is not what tc-ia64.c was doing.)

I think the docs are wrong in this regard. I too implemented an md_parse_option that produced the same silent failure mode of tc-ia64.c, by reading what internals.texi said.

I'm not sure whether it is the docs, or as.c which needs changing.
