You're using ANSI C facilities to stop strings from running past
80 columns. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe
that's a no-no. [Is it written down somewhere what, if any,
of ANSI C facilities one can use for GAS? Should we set a timeframe for
when we'll start allowing such things?]
gas and the binutils are, of course, a special case, because they may
be required to bootstrap the compiler. My inclination is to never
permit ANSI C features. Or, to be slightly more reasonable, let's say
not for the next five years.
