1.3 BFD_ASSEMBLER gas version

The preferred version of GAS is the BFD_ASSEMBLER version. In this version of GAS, the output file is a normal BFD, and the BFD routines are used to generate the output.

BFD_ASSEMBLER will automatically be used for certain targets, including those that use the ELF, ECOFF, and SOM object file formats, and also all Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, and SPARC targets. You can force the use of BFD_ASSEMBLER for other targets with the configure option `--enable-bfd-assembler'; however, it has not been tested for many targets, and can not be assumed to work.
