Recently, I have been looking at old GCCs' code. When I looked at
the directory listing for gcc (or was it egcs?) 1.39. I was
astonished:
-rw-r--r-- 1 sam sam 5730 Feb 22 1989 masm386.c
It was actual subroutines for insn-output.c to produce MASM
assembler syntax! Compiling it lead to lots of syntax errors. If
that could be fixed and changed to be compatible with the modern
insn-output.c, the i?86-pc-windows port using MASM might just be
feasible. Sadly, in 2.0 the file dissapeared! But, I whipped up an
old gcc 1.36, and that compile worked fine except for a missing
masm-lib.h. Is that enough to reconsider that port?
