If only we could get rid or all pre-UAL inline assembly on the planet... :)

The has been the only reason why we added support for those in our
assembler, because GAS supports them and people still use (or have
legacy code they won't change).

If the binutils folks (and you guys) are happy to start seriously
de-phasing pre-UAL support, I'd be more than happy to do so on our
end. Do you think I should start that conversation on the binutils
list?

Maybe a new serious compulsory warning, to start?

cheers,
