The only reason is to maintain 386 compatibility. The last time I
asked (I think it was about a year ago), there was a question as to
whether 386 incompatible instructions were used in the asm files, even
if "386" was specified in the Configure options. DJGPP programs should
be able to work on the 386 architecture. I don't have a 386 machine
to test with. I have no objection to using the asm files as long as
doing so doesn't break 386 compatibility. If the 386 compatibility
problem is real, perhaps instructions for changing the config-string
in Configure should be put in INSTALL.DJGPP, for those wishing to use
the asm files. I am not a programmer and don't know how to check for
assembler instructions incompatible with the 386 myself.
