Hi, I wanted to look at the old problem of building 64-bit PicoLisp on Mac OS X. Assemblers are far from what I usually play with, but at least I'd like to spend a few hours today on this problem. >From what I've found on the net, I got the impression that the standard (?) assembler on OSX is "nasm", and that the nasm versions found on Macs are often quite old (just do "nasm -v", and you'll see). My idea then was that it might help to install an up-to-date version. Then I wanted to check which version I had on my Ubuntu, where I build 64-bit PicoLisp without problem, but on my Ubuntu I found no "nasm"; here "as" (2.20.1) seems to be the standard assembler. On Mac (OSX 10.6.7) even "as" is not very new, I found 1.38. Maybe I should try to upgrade "as" instead of "nasm" ... Any comments?
