separate in the final commit. The intermediate steps are not useful.
Thanks.

Matter of taste, I suppose.
I didn't realise the deleted .s file problem. I always do
(cd mpn; m4 file.asm)>x.s && gcc -g x.s ...
when I debug, since that effetively zeros turnaround time.
Perhaps we should stop deleting the .s file?
I generally do that with the assembler itself. E.g.
call 1f
.subsection 2
1: mov (%esp), %ebx
ret
.previous
addl $_GLOBAL_OFFSET_POINTER_, %ebx
Lucky you to have a powerful assembler all the time...
I actually really like m4. It is tiny yet really powerful, being Turing
complete. A friend of mine implemented a bignum library in m4, inspired
by GMP's m4 usage, I think. Convinced of m4's greatness now? :-)
