Re: which gcc? (cross dist: egcs-2.91.60, macppc dist: egcs-2.91.66)

Hi folks:

I am also using the powerpc cross compiler. My question is this. I cant find
any documentation of the GNU assembler (as/gas) powerpc port ??? the info and
man pages dont mention the powerpc arch at all ??? 

I am trying to figure out the assembly syntax for a port I am working on to the
mpc8260 processor.  I have figured some of it out but would apreciate some
more info.

Thanks in advance.
