- Yes, Asm is required. GCC is like many unix compilers in that it only converts
- to assembly and lets the system's assembler handle the rest. It makes
- porting easier.
-
- Not only is Asm required, so are the MPW C 3.1 (not 3.2) headers and libraries,
- for which you'll need to look on an older dev. cd. MPW C is also required
- to compile it (if you modify the sources; I don't remember if the distribution
- includes a binary).
-
- GCC 2.2 is under way, and someday in the (distant) future GAS may be available
- also. But don't hold your breath. I'll let the people actually involved say
- more.
