are you using 3.1 or 3.2?

it's not "intel" vs. "motorola" format. it's "mit" vs. "others" format.
the existing backend in lcc for x86 arch is intended for DOS, i believe,
and the machine desriptions seems to be fore microsoft style assemblers.
there are patches and hacks you can do to this and make it unix compatible
-- make it generate gas compatible "mit" output, but not gas compatible
"morotola" output ;-)
a potential problem with using LCC -- it lacks m68k backend currently.
i've talked to david hansen and he says there is no such thing currently.
