No.  The .L in the LEA instruction only specifies that it is supposed
to access the address register as a longword.  It's really unnecessary,
since the assemble knows that a plain LEA refers to the register as a
longword.  You can use it to load the address of data of any size.
However, you should always declare *string* data with dc.b.
