GNU binutils on Darwin is not a regular thing. By default Apple ships 
their own binutils, "cctools". And their is no option to switch the 
syntax used in the cctools, so we'll have to handle both syntax.

You may also notice that in addition to the register naming convention 
and the word selector name's differences, the many asm keywords like 
.data or .fill are different. You can explain that with the fact that 
darwin and linux uses two different ABI : Linux uses elf, darwin uses 
Mach-O.
