Thank you. It's very interesting. But it's hard to marge your work. Because your code might not work on future 7zip when upstream assembly code will change. It's hard to maintain for future 7zip package. And Debian already have asmc-linux for assembly code. So, I want to marge your code by upstream 7zip author. I think your code enables some new features. Such as: * Enable assembly code for MacOS/x86_64 because nasm can provides Mach-O object. But it needs some MacOS ABI adjustment. * Can be cross-build x86/x86_64 assembly code on non-x86/non-x86_64 platforms. -- YOKOTA Hiroshi
