Ah, so you *do* have installed binutils!
Not explicitly. I installed the developer tools from apple. It seems
that there is an assembler inside ;-)
I thought you said you didn't!
I hope not.
Binutils works for many targets, but only Apple's own specialised
version
works properly for mac os x. So the assembler you have on your system
is
binutils (of a sort), but you won't be able to recompile it or update
it
from the GNU binutils until Apple have contributed the changes they
made to
their version of it into the public source codes, because until they
do the
public versions won't support mac os x. Any clearer?
I think so. Thanks a lot.
