+ @samp{r} followed by the register number.

Changes in binutils 2.10:
+ * New command line switch to objdump -M (or --disassembler-options) which takes
+ a parameter which can then be interpreted on a per-target basis by the
+ disassembler. Used by ARM targets to select register name sets, ISA, APCS or
+ raw verions.
+
* objdump support for -mi386:intel which causes disassembly to be displayed
with intel syntax.
