provided by the non-GNU unix (e.g. Solaris and IRIX) provided by the
originally-dominant manufacturer (e.g. Sun and SGI)?
-Adefault simply selects whatever the compiler uses as the default for
the platform. That may be GNU AS, or something else. Normally, if
multiple assemblers are supported then there will also be a separate -
