Description:

when one of the operand of the mov instruction is an memory address of an label, the as command
actually interpret it as $0x0. while the same file is assembled correctly on Ubuntu and MinGW(Windows)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

create a file test.s

/* test.s */
.code16

mov $0x07C0, %ax /* Set up 4K stack space after this bootloader*/
add $288, %ax /* (4096 + 512) / 16 bytes per paragraph*/
mov %ax, %ss
mov $4096, %sp
mov $0x07C0, %ax /* Set data segment to where we're loaded*/
mov %ax, %ds


/* I also tried mov $LC0, %si */
mov LC0, %si
call print_string

jmp .

print_string:
mov $0x0e, %ah
_loop:
lodsb
cmp $0, %al
je _done
int $0x10
jmp _loop
_done:
ret

LC0:
.ascii "Hello world"
.byte 0
.byte 0

execute:

as test.s -o print

and then execute

objdump print.o -d -m i8086

The result is:

Disassembly of section .text:

Note 10: be 00 00 mov $0x0,%si
in which LC0 is replace by $0x0, while LC0 is not at the address 0x0
