- Dear Mr. Stallman,
-
- How do you do? I am always thankful to you for GAS.
-
- We modified gas-1.38 for mc68040. So, I will send the patches.
- If possible, would you please merge it to your original gas?
-
- We enhanced gas-1.38 to support the following functions:
-
- (1) Support for mc68040
- In my patch, -mc68040 is a default switch.
- When the variable `m68k_kind' in m68k.c is zero,
- the default switch becames -mc68020 and the patched gas
- works as same as the original gas.
-
- (2) Enhancement to program layout
- (a) In <label field>, tabs or spaces can be specified between
- an identifier and `:'.
- (b) The size of the assembler directive .skip can be specified zero.
- These enhancements are for compatibility with SUN's as.
- For the enhancements I enclosed the corresponding sources
- with #ifdef CANON and #endif CANON.
-
- I added a machine-dependent file into patches, also. The file name is
- m-stone.h. `Stone' is our machines' name with mc68040. We (Japanese) often
- call VLSI or IC as a stone. We pronounce a stone, 'ISHI' in Japanese.
- The pronunciation 'ISHI' has the different meanings, a doctor and a will, etc.
- (Please look a English-Japanese dictionary up) So, I put my will into
- 'ISHI', that is our stone:-).
-
- These patches were made by
- Shinichi Iwamoto iwamoto@cis.canon.co.jp and
- Kenjiro Chyo chyo@cbs.canon.co.jp.
-
- Besides GAS, I am preparing to modify GCC for mc68040.
- Could you need the patches?
-
- I would like to make sure that you receive this mail. Please send
- your response. Thank you.
-
- Sincerely,
-
