Note that these rules do not check for the value of PATH. You may want to use --with-as if no assembler is installed in the directories listed above, or if you have multiple assemblers installed and want to choose one that is not found by the above rules. Is some information missing here? If it isn't, but if you'd like to move (most of) this up, before "Target Specification" together with a short introductory sentence, I'd be strongly tempted to approve/install such a patch of yours. ;-) Gerald -- Gerald "Jerry" pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/~pfeifer/
