The following code gives errors when put through the Manx assembler:

;:ts=8

.4   dc.l   $0000
     tst.l  .4
     add.l  #1,.4
     END


It seems that the assembler is trying to optimize the absolute references
to pc-relative.  When it does, it produces errors cause pc-mode is
not supported with those instruction on a 68000 processor.  Has anyone else
run into this problem?
