Why not?
Just because you do that work on a non-x86 machine, it doesn't mean you
don't want to boot that partition on an x86 machine.
Hmm, I suppose that's a possibility.
Unless I'm missing something when using gcc as, one can't compile x86
assembly with the ARM toolchain, etc.; so it'd require rewriting the
new mbr.S for NASM, or alternatively, perhaps going back to YASM which
I think can handle AT&T syntax? Which would mean requiring both NASM
and YASM IIRC.
