>Description:
There should be better support for mixing ATT and INTEL syntax assembler code.
My suggestiuon would be to introduce new gnu assembler keywords:

.syntax=[intel,att] [reg-prefix,...]
.push [syntax,reg-prefix...]
.pop [syntax,reg-prefix...]

Example:

.push syntax,reg-prefix
.syntax=intel reg-prefix
    mov %eax,dword ptr [someptr]
.syntax=att
    movl ($someptr),eax
.pop syntax,reg-prefix

State-Changed-Why:
    Not relevant to gcc. Please bring this up with the binutils
    people who are responsible for the gnu assembler. I think
    it would be helpful if you also provided a rational for your
    proposal, since I personally fail to see a reason for this.
