Re: dwarf-1 egcs outputs bad .s / GAS allows it.

   HERE->  .2byte  0xfffffff0

   Should bit_offset be masked to fit in 16 bits?   Should it be .4byte?
   Should this be an impossible combination anyway?  Why does GAS allow this?   
gas should issue a warning for this case.  It doesn't because it needs
to accept
    .2byte -10
and it is getting confused in the obvious way.  It's a bug.
