Change this in the file called HINTS.  Perhaps this should go into README.

	If you are using a VAX, and for some reason use the native
	assembler instead of GAS, you will need to #define FASCIST_ASSEMBLER
	when compiling cplus-decl.c.  If you don't remember to do
	this, the assembler will remind you by telling you that it did
	not understand a stab which the compiler is trying to pass to
	the linker.

to this:

	If you are using a non-Sun machine, and use the native
	assembler instead of GAS, you will need to #define FASCIST_ASSEMBLER
	when compiling cplus-decl.c.  This is because Sun's as and GAS
	appear to be the only assemblers out there which assemble stabs
	instead of checking them.  If you don't remember to do
	this, the assembler will remind you by telling you that it did
	not understand a stab which the compiler is trying to pass to
	the linker.
