But, note that Sun itself intends to use GNU as with GCC -- and encourage its customers to do the same.


Probably because at that time neither their compiler nor the assembler were
ready for prime time.

I can't speculate as to the reasons.


But, I honestly don't see much point in using GCC with Sun's assembler; GAS is easily installed, and works fine. It's not that I'd try to stop anybody from making GCC work with Sun as; it's just that I don't personally see much of an advantage.
