Hi,

There seems to be a minor bug when running assembler with 'unified 
syntax' sources.
The old v4t and v5t architectures did not support a MOV rd, rs with both 
low registers.
At pre 'unified syntax' time an 'ADD rd, rs, #0' was used instead.
This instruction changes the flags. So this is not a real move instruction.

I think for architecture v4t and v5t it is better to emit a 'unified 
syntax ADDS rd, rs, #0'
than to emit unpredictable code.
Also the author should be informed about the change.

regards
  Thomas
