Will the assembler support long external names?
This is one of the things I hate most on my 68K MINIX system.
We have sources of the compiler, linker etc.
But the assembler is binary-only. And global names where only the first
seven characters (due to the underscore) ar valid are somehow outdated.

68K MINIX offers the capability to port high-quality software to it
because of the ,,unlimited'' address space.
The restriction on external names destroys this sometimes.
