OpenBSD binutils is modified for things like W^X. As far as i386 and
amd64 go it's probably a more useful approach to write support for
the additional opcodes, see the most recent couple of commits in
src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils-2.17 for clues about how to do this.
I will take a loot, thanks for the pointer.
For some other arch (ARM in particular) support in binutils-2.17 is
a bit of a stumbling point...not sure quite what to do there.
Hm, I have no clue about ARM tobe honest..
Alternatively yes do try LLVM/Clang as that has its own assembler.
Yep, I will look at it.
Thanks,
Hannes
