Thanks very much for the advice, it's much appreciated. It combined
with the manuals and the packages repos got me to a working build.
I'm including it here in case it helps anybody else in future:

(synopsis "Z80, 8080 and Z180 assembler")
(description "zasm is an assembler for the Z80 CPU. It can also
assemble code for
the extended instruction set of the Z180 / Hitachi HD64180, as well as
code limited to the Intel 8080 e.g. for CP/M. zasm can also assemble
native 8080 assembler source.")
