* as.c (main): Mark symbols created via the --defsym command line 

option as volatile so that they can be overridden later on by a
  .set directive.  This maintains compatibility with the behaviour
  of earlier versions of the assembler.
* doc/as.texinfo (--defsym): Document that the defined symbol's
  value can be overridden via a .set directive.

Define the symbol @var{sym} to be @var{value} before assembling the input file.
@var{value} must be an integer constant. As in C, a leading @samp{0x}
indicates a hexadecimal value, and a leading @samp{0} indicates an octal value.
