GNU as supports all of the PowerPC mnemonics. The GCC Further Readings link on the main page has a list of links for various architectures, including the PowerPC Assembler manuals for AIX.

Thanks the response David , but I was looking for a more inclusive list. For example some assembler I have written for the IBM PPC 405 has icbst, mtdcr and quite a few other 4xx only operations. Obviously the as has this information when passed 'mcpu=405'. I was just hoping I could find a single source of documentation containing the superset of all IBM (POWER(2),4xx,6xx,7xx(x), PPC64) and Motorola (8xx(x), 7xx, G3/G4). Also book E based processors are in development which will soon only complicate this matter more for anyone who is not a PPC assembler expert. Would be nice if http://www.gnu.org/manual/gas/html_mono/as.html was updated to include a PPC section. It currently is dated Jan '94. Pat ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
