DES-in-N-clock-cycles will recognise that a talented assembler programmer can beat the crap out of a C compiler if he recodes his algorithm specifically for _*1*_ processor type. To answer the original question, get the GNU sources (they are in src/contrib/... or a ftp site near you) for GAS (gnu Assembler). That will include the Texinfo source for the stuff you want.
