 Have you verified your new test case? -- I think not all targets have a 
`nop' instruction mnemonic.  I reckon this is already handled in other 
tests that need to emit a piece of code across all targets, although ISTM 
here you could have just used a portable data directive instead, such as 
`.word', as it doesn't really matter for the objective of this test what 
is there between the two labels.
