Thank you Gunther, that explains a few things.

There are 23 changes made to as.c of GAS 1.38.1 FSF in order to produce the as.c of ctools. The copyright at the top of the ctools as.c is the FSF copyright dated 1987. Am I to assume that Apple edited the code extensively, but did not change the version number announced by the assembler at the command line?

> BTW, old gas and binutils releases are available here:

Thank you. I have the original as.c from the 1991 distribution.
