When given a statement such as 

	` . = 30 '

gas (m68k) creates a symbol `.' and gives it a value of (absolute) 30.
This is verified by running `nm' on the resulting object output.

It should set the program counter to `30' relative the base of the
current csect.

Also, gas doesn't accept the psuedo op `.bss'.  This is contrary to
the (Sun) unix assembler.
