Seems ok, but what about the sub-targets? They fail the test-suite.
m68hc11-elf  PASS
m68hc12-elf - 10 gas failures
m6811-elf - 5 gas failures
m6812-elf - 15 gas failures

Does this matter? Should the tests only be run with the 'main' target?

I believe the following patch resolves the 10 gas failures on
m68hc12-elf, the hc11 tests were being run without a target specified,
so will only work if the target is built as m68hc11. When they then run
as hc12 they do not spit out the expected error as those operands/modess
are valid on hc12.

However, resolving those then exposes 10 test failures in ld. I have not
yet investigated those.

My reason for asking is that I have some work to submit on the m68hc11
target and don't want to be rejected on these testsuite failures.
(My previous attempt at submission in Feb/Mar did expose some genuine
regressions which I have since corrected.)

PS. I hope the References works ok, I find it tricky to reply with
correct headers when I receive only the digest and the online version
doesn't display the Message-id. Any tips?
