Including details is nice and helpful, just don't expect everyone to digest all of the details at once. If I spot a single small problem in what you report, I might be able to provide some help on that, even if I don't have a good idea of the big picture. >> 2.

The Makefiles are expected to run roughly the two commands m4 ... foo.asm > foo.s $(CC) ... foo.s -o foo.o for each used .asm file. If you observe make trying to run $(CC) ... foo.asm -o foo.o instead, then you have found a severe Makefile-related problem. "can only be preprocessed with gcc" sounded like you expected the above incorrect command to somehow succeed in case CC=gcc, and break only if gcc is replaced by Oracles compiler. But it's broken regardless of compiler; the separate m4 step is always required. Do you follow? Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid 368C6677.
