--- Comment #7 from Andrew Stubbs <ams at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I'm not sure that an assembler or linker can be labelled "insane" for choosing to include some blank lines amongst its diagnostics. :-) In any case, there's no other tool available, and no time/money available to port Binutils at present, although I'd like to see that change. I suppose we could add a wrapper, but would that really improve the user experience?
