There is no "movl" in the intel manuals either, so what's your point? We
all know that gas syntax is not the same as intel syntax.

Intel only documents "mov" and "push", but gas accepts movb/movw/movl for
normal data access and should definitely accept movw/movl/pushw/pushl on
segment registers.

You're definitely right on "pushb" being illegal, no question about that.
