1. have to be sure we're not talking about the assembler for llvm IR here,
which is a totally different thing...I think we call clang.
2. bootstrapping. the stock toolchain on many systems can't build llvm 7.0, but
also you don't want to be stuck with llvm-3.4's clang forever as the assembler
on those systems either either.
The current system already would be better than that.
Agreed. I don't think the above change would be a good idea.
To my eye, the better way out here would seem to be leave gcc as is,
configure to use ${prefix}/bin/as, but then enhance the cctools port (in
some way to be discussed) to allow it to behaviour more along the lines
of how the system /usr/bin/as does.
