I suppose this question could be interpreted various ways, and I'm not fully
competent to answer, as I haven't tried both ways.  Maybe I'll get Mumit's
version and compare output files.  I expect the results would be the same
except for possible alignment differences; I've put some emphasis on getting
the .p2align scheme working when building natively, even though it is not fully
effective because of cygwin not providing 128-bit stack alignment.  You would
see this by comparing .s files, for example; the alignment directives may
differ.  Also, you probably wouldn't be using exactly the same binutils, if
Mumit is recommending you install his binaries for both binutils and the
compilers.
