Hi Guys,

  I recently discovered that the MCore port of GAS does not accept the
  .8byte directive due to a limitation in the way that it had coded
  the md_number_to_chars() function.  Since we now have perfectly
  usable versions of this function in write.c I have applied the
  patch below to make use of them.

Cheers
  Nick
