$ ls /opt/SUNWspro/bin/as /opt/SUNWspro/bin/as: No such file or directory and gas cannot build ON to my knowledge, only /usr/ccs/bin/as can. correct me if I'm wrong ( which is a real possibility ). If I am correct, however, it's a matter which should be resolved. Further research has lead me to Yasm, which is licensed under BSD ( so it can actually be integrated ) and built as a library loosely tied to a frontend ( which can be jettisoned in favour of one that takes solaris' syntax ). Assuming nobody's working on a replacement for SUNWsprot's copy, I was thinking of starting from there.
