[fpc-devel] FPC's -A option

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

What is the intent of

       -Adefault  Use default assembler
       -Aas       Assemble using GNU AS

on classic unix systems e.g. SPARC and MIPS? Is it that -Aas selects 
gas  (and assumes that gas's command-line is consistent for cross-builds 
etc.) and that -Adefault selects whatever variant of  as  is provided by 
the non-GNU unix (e.g. Solaris and IRIX) provided by the 
originally-dominant manufacturer (e.g. Sun and SGI)?
