hmmmmmmmmmm... I has not a 'gas' in my gentoo box, but an 'as' (without 'g' at
the beggining... and BTW just one 's' at the end of the word... ;-)) instead
that seems to be gnu assembler anyway. 'man as' doesn't give me information
about .macro directive.
fmmarzoa@durruti man1 $ zgrep -B 2 -i macro /usr/share/man/man1/as.1.gz
.IP "\fB\-am\fR" 4
.IX Item "-am"
include macro expansions
--
.IX Item "-n"
When this option is used, \fBas\fR will issue a warning every
time it generates a nop instruction from a macro.
