Buchanan" X-Sender: brian@thought.calbbs.com To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: GNU Assembler - new version? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Is it possible we could see a new version of the GNU assembler for -STABLE anytime soon? The version currently present in the tree seems to date back to 1992 or 1993, and lacks some features of more recent versions. I've tried grabbing a newer version of gas from the GNU binutils-2.8, but the configure script doesn't recognize FreeBSD, and I'm not knowledgeable (or patient) enough to hack it into working. -- Brian Buchanan brian@wasteland.calbbs.com "So now I'm an undemocratic, elitist `privacy extremist,' eh?
