| |
| <p>As a back end for <span class="sc">gnu</span> <span class="sc">cc</span> <code>as</code> has been throughly tested and should |
| work extremely well. We have tested it only minimally on hand written assembly |
| code and no one has tested it much on the assembly output from the HP |
| compilers. |
| |
| <p>The format of the debugging sections has changed since the original |
| <code>as</code> port (version 1.3X) was released; therefore, |
| you must rebuild all HPPA objects and libraries with the new |
| assembler so that you can debug the final executable. |
| |
| <p>The HPPA <code>as</code> port generates a small subset of the relocations |
| available in the SOM and ELF object file formats. Additional relocation |
| support will be added as it becomes necessary. |
