PDP-11 LDA BFD backend for gnu binutils

[Fritz Mueller via cctalk]

I've been thinking it might be nice to have an LDA BFD backend for gnu 
binutils, so gas, ld, objdump etc. could deal with LDA's directly without 
having to use separate conversion utilities.

Before jumping in on that, though, I thought I'd ask here to see if anybody 
might have already started or done this?  I've noticed several of the folks 
here also have contributions on some of the binutils lists.

   thanks,
