Nearly all of the i386 targets includes i386/unix.h which defines
ASM_COMMENT_START as "/" -- and it was this I meant with "the default"
(I didn't realize that there is an architecture-independent default.)

"/" is used as comment character unless I redefine it...

linux*/freebsd*/openbsd.h/win32.h/x86-64.h/cygwin.h/beos-elf.h/bsd386.h
already redefined it as in my patch.
