--- Comment #2 from Paul Clarke <pc at us dot ibm.com> --- GCC putting the base ".machine" directive at the beginning of the file makes any command-line use of "-many" (-Wa,-many) be ignored. Is that OK? "-many" is supposed to make those black boxes just work. This worked before recent changes to binutils/GCC. Is there any valid use of "-Wa,-many" now?
