If that's true then the tables in GAS are wrong as well.

  {"wldrw",      0xec100200, 5, ARM_CEXT_IWMMXT, do_iwmmxt_word_addr},
                            ^^
says that a condition code may appear after the fifth character (it should 
be zero if that isn't allowed).

The same is also true of wstrw:

  {"wstrw",      0xec000200, 5, ARM_CEXT_IWMMXT, do_iwmmxt_word_addr},

Argh! no, it gets worse...

In do_iwmmxt_word_addr() we have

  if (wc_register (reg))
    {
      inst.instruction |=  0xf0000100;
      inst.instruction &= ~0x00400000;
    }

Where's the test that the user hasn't emitted a conditional instruction 
that wasn't legal?

Is it really the case that whether or not wstrw is conditionally 
executable or not depends on the registers it was given?

R.
