I think having nasm (or yasm) as an additional build tool requirement
is pretty much unavoidable for many good things nowadays. Of course, it
would still be nice if we had a $(NASM_ONLY) guard that would lift the
requirement and make it an option with a warning during configure.
Er... I'd forgotten to mention this in the other threads, but my assembler
code for app_server is written in yasm, as it uses SSE2/SSSE3. GCC2
doesn't support the newer SSE extensions in inline assembly, and I think
that the GNU assembler in the Haiku/GCC2 build doesn't either, judging
from "as -v", compared to the help output from GAS on Cygwin - this gives
architecture/extension flags missing in the Haiku GAS.
So this doesn't leave much of a choice if "modern" assembly code is used
in Haiku AFAICS.
