Alright, poking around blindly for an hour, I made the changes in the
attached patch (not for applying) and came up with a different breakage:
as -o src/platform_asm.o src/platform_asm.s
src/platform_asm.s: Assembler messages:
src/platform_asm.s:3: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `this'
src/platform_asm.s:4: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `rather'
src/platform_asm.s:5: Error: syntax error; found `i' but expected `,'
src/platform_asm.s:5: Error: junk at end of line: `is not
currently configurable in the Parrot makefiles'
src/platform_asm.s:7: Error: unexpected end of file in macro
definition
make: *** [src/platform_asm.o] Error 1
Running 'gcc' or 'cc' on the file produces the same error, as you'd
expect.
