I get the feeling I am missing some background. Which architecture is this? Are the ports already upstream in binutils/gas/gcc? Do you also have a new elfutils ebl backend for it? After your changes, how well does the testsuite work? I am a little afraid the configure logic might become somewhat fragile. Ulrich's suggestion to just use a different syntax for your instruction set does make sense to me.
