pseudo-op such as @code{.word}. You can use this to recognize relocation
directives that may appear in such directives.
-@item BITFIELD_CONS_EXPRESSION
-@cindex BITFIELD_CONS_EXPRESSION
-If you define this macro, GAS will recognize bitfield instructions in data
-allocation pseudo-ops, as used on the i960.
-
@item REPEAT_CONS_EXPRESSION
@cindex REPEAT_CONS_EXPRESSION
If you define this macro, GAS will recognize repeat counts in data allocation
while still preserving intra-section references and meeting alignment
requirements.
-For the i960 using b.out format, no expansion is done; instead, each
-@samp{.align} directive causes extra space to be allocated, enough that when
-the linker is relaxing a section and removing unneeded space, it can discard
-some or all of this extra padding and cause the following data to be correctly
-aligned.

For the H8/300, I think the linker expands calls that can't reach, and doesn't
worry about alignment issues; the cpu probably never needs any significant
alignment beyond the instruction size.
