  • The changed eqv-dot test may expose previously hidden issues on other targets.
  • Fixing the byte order bug in the pdp11 assembler ensures correct code generation for that architecture.

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.
