Subject: [PATCH] Updated list of m68k options, described
 required-register-prefix hack. Added a tiny bit of documentation on MIPS
 target. Minor tweaks to `-a' description.

+For some configurations, especially those where the compiler normally
+does not prepend an underscore to the names of user variables, the
+assembler requires a @samp{%} before any use of a register name.  This
