Ah, good point. I don't think my "real" scenario did that though.
I'll investigate more. Networking problems were?are hampering download 4.5.0 and
build and configure it.
I did come up with Makefile:
Assemble = $(shell if test -x /opt/csw/gnu/as ; then echo /opt/csw/gnu/as ; \
elif test -x /usr/sfw/bin/gas ; then echo /usr/sfw/bin/gas ; \
else echo "unable to find GNU assembler" ; fi )
:) which addresses why I wasn't using GNU as.
(Yes, I've heard of autoconf.)
Thanks, later,
- Jay
