Correct bug in the object file output code leading to stack corruption
It turns out leaving a pointer to a stack allocated temporary in a
persistent data structure is not conducive to correct program operation.
Undo the export check setup in the object file output sequence so a
pointer to stack allocated memory is not left hanging when the function
returns. This seems to correct at least one mysterious crash bug, and
possibly others.
Thanks to Boisy Pitre for reporting the crash bug that led to this
discovery, as well as a previous crash bug that likely has the same
root cause.
Additional thanks to Ciaran Anscomb whose debugger wielding wizardry
revealed the exact location of this particular bit of unbrilliance.

As of LWASM 4.11, those compatibility instructions can be enabled using the <CODE CLASS="PARAMETER" >--6800compat</CODE > option or the <CODE CLASS="PARAMETER" >6800compat</CODE > pragma. It also supports all known HD6309 instructions. While there is general agreement on the mnemonics for most of the 6309 instructions, there is some variance with the block transfer instructions. TFM for all four variations seems to have gained the most traction and, thus, this is the form that is recommended for LWASM. However, it also supports COPY, COPY-, IMP, EXP, TFRP, TFRM, TFRS, and TFRR. It further adds COPY+ as a synomym for COPY, IMPLODE for IMP, and EXPAND for EXP. </P ><P >By default, LWASM accepts 6309 instructions.

These are the hash sign ("#") for immediate mode, the less than sign ("<") for forced eight bit modes, and the greater than sign (">") for forced sixteen bit modes.</P ><P >Additionally, LWASM supports using the asterisk ("*") to indicate base page addressing.
