GCC is the last compiler I'm using that doesn't have an integrated object file generator. It's way past<BR>time to integrate BFD, opcodes, etc. or whatever other solution to replace this generate-text-and-pipe-it-to-the-assembler '70s technology.<BR>That means one less thing on the host that may not match GCC's expectations. (e.g. AltiVec register names and the host assemblers)<BR>

<DIV>gcc itself is a top-level driver program that generates as and forks an as. I don't think it's possible to do what you suggest.</DIV>
