you're correct.  My explanation was incorrect.  I've remembered what was going 
on now.

The asm-source tests are assembled using default options.  That defaults to 
m68020 capabilities and the jbsr gets assembled to one of the bsr instructions. 
  However, using a 'jsr' directly in the source forces emission of a jsr, which 
is available on all m68k/cf cores, and allows the resultant executable to be run 
on any of them.  The asm-source tests don't pay attention to any multilib or 
compiler specific flags so I can't see a way to specify to the assembler what 
the target cpu really is.

I suppose it would be possible to assemble and link the sources with gcc's 
--no-startfiles --no-stdlib options.  That would allow this test to work with 
multilibs, pass the right options from cflags, and avoid the need for a fully 
specified path for any linker script that is needed.  However it would tie the 
gdb testsuite to gcc.  Although I guess this test could probe the compiler and 
discover whether it was gcc or not, and do the above if it was or fall back on 
the old behaviour if it wasn't.  would something like that be acceptable?
