Do you refer to adding a #define DEBUG at the top of as.h? - Why aren't assertions "turned on" by default between releases? For the record, I don't see this as a reason to change whether trailing ":" should be chopped of in this port (only its implementation), but I think that's not what you meant. > Assertion failure in read_a_source_file at /src/binutils-current/gas/read.c line 652. Thanks for reporting. I'll have a look this weekend if not before. Without looking, I'd guess it's as much chance that this is a port bug as it is the assert machinery rotting or misplaced asserts. brgds, H-P
