eqv involving dot" gas test and pdp11
This patch modifies the eqv-dot test to ensure that targets which ignore the value of fx_subsy in fixups will fail. Additionally, it corrects a byte-order bug in the pdp11 assembler (gas) that caused incorrect code generation when fixups were needed. The patch updates the testsuite to account for these changes.
