1 9.13.1 Notes
1 ------------
1
1 As a back end for GNU CC 'as' has been thoroughly tested and should work
1 extremely well. We have tested it only minimally on hand written
1 assembly code and no one has tested it much on the assembly output from
1 the HP compilers.
1
1 The format of the debugging sections has changed since the original
1 'as' port (version 1.3X) was released; therefore, you must rebuild all
1 HPPA objects and libraries with the new assembler so that you can debug
1 the final executable.
1
1 The HPPA 'as' port generates a small subset of the relocations
1 available in the SOM and ELF object file formats. Additional relocation
1 support will be added as it becomes necessary.
