Hi, On 3.0-RELEASE, when GAS is called to assemble a.out code, is it using gas 2.9.1 or does it link back to the old a.out toolchain assembler. On my 3.0-current test machine 6 months ago, I upgraded gas with GAS 2.9.1. from GNU's binutils by building a local copy of GAS for the i386-unknown-bsd-aout target. I could happily build a.out binaries which included inline MMX assembler code in my C files. Unfer 3.0-RELEASE, if I rebuild my project with gcc -aout, it Rejects the MMX instructions, indicating it is not using gas 2.9.1 in aout mode but switching back to old toolchain code. Any comments on this. I run a mix of 2.2.5 and 3.0 systems so I wanted to keep a.out for now.
