There is mention to use GAS if it is available, but no explicit instructions
as to how.....  It appears that "make AS=a68" isn't sufficient, the sources
don't use a68 in the assembly step.  Do I need to define my own .s.o: line
in the Makefile?  When I changed PIPE-AS to -S and then ran the make twice
(to make the .s and then the .o with the AS=a68) things kinda worked, but I'd
rather not have to do that for ALL makefiles :-( or explain it to my users :-(

I haven't had time to RTFM, takes a while to wade through the texinfo's.  There
appears to be nothing explicit in the README/INSTALL, etc. that describes this
stuff.

Related problem  -pipe doesn't work.  Pipe closes, and as has no input....

Also, it was stated in the hints or somewhere that Sun as and GAS are the only
ones that don't need -DFASCIST_ASSEMBLER defined.  I get errors in builtin,
stream, BitString, String, Rational, and EH with the Sun as.  All around the
DTOR/CTOR stabs.

Any ideas?   Do I have to change something to make gcc/g++ use a68 and gnuld?
Add .cc.o to my make.include?
