[Bug gas/2623] New: No line separator character is defined for msp430-gas

[c dot plouet at medria dot fr]

This prevents from (ab)using the C preprocessor to generate assembly code (e.g.
to generate different versions of a time-critical routine by inserting a
variable amount of wait cycles/NOP instructions through a macro), because
multiline macros (using '\') are turned into single lines. And when msp430-gas
reads multiple instructions on a single line it translates the first one only
and silently ignores the other ones.

Could line 171 of file src/gas/config/tc-msp430.c (revision 1.23) be changed to
something else? Maybe something like:

const char line_separator_chars[] = ":";

instead of :

const char line_separator_chars[] = "";


I have no idea if ":" really is reasonable here; it looks like it's of no use in
MSP430 assembly code anyway, but I could be wrong.
