genassym is a binary used to create assembler constants for the offsets
of variables within records (sorry, structs). It is a binary that's
built and needs to run natively on the host machine, so should be
compiled into native code rather than cross-compiled. You should be able
to just do a native build of it 'by hand,' and thus make it sufficiently
up to date as for the machine to not want to build it again. Just delete
makemodes from Makeing whatsoever on anything but a
{RISCPC/A7000/RC7500} architecture together with their peculiar console.
