I can if you are sure you want it. It will of course break any assembly source you have that happens to use / to start comments anywhere except the first column. Please make the change. There is no really good reason why we should differ from GNU/Linux in this regard. And if anything breaks, it will be fixed. > Having a look at the source code I found [gas]/config/te-linux.h, > but no [gas]/config/te-gnu.h or similar. E.g. in the Linux file, > `LOCAL_LABELS_FB' is defined to `1'. Do we also need that? I can add that too. It won't make a difference on most targets. eg. tc-i386.h defines LOCAL_LABELS_FB too. Since it doesn't make a difference, I guess it is just easier to leave it as it is.
