add_n.s is linked from some vax directory. Unfortunately, they use old

34 .word 0x0
35 movl 16(ap),r0
36 movl 12(ap),r1
37 movl 8(ap),r2
38 movl 4(ap),r3
39 mnegl r0,r5
40 addl2 $3,r0
When accessing the AP register, the name should be prefixed with '%'.
The assembly function's name had one _ too much in front, as well as
the .type ..., @function was missing.
It is not "old syntax", it is aout syntax.
With this patch to gmp, I can build GCC (build=i686-linux,
host=target=vax-linux-uclibc). It's not yet tested at all, though...
Unfortunately, I have to reject your patch.
To port this to ELF systems (which I suppose GNU/Linux for VAX is) you
need to use the .asm style, and let m4 to the register prefixing.
