71<p>As a back end for <small>GNU</small> <small>CC</small> <code>as</code> has been thoroughly tested and should
72work extremely well.  We have tested it only minimally on hand written assembly
73code and no one has tested it much on the assembly output from the HP
74compilers.
75</p>
76<p>The format of the debugging sections has changed since the original
77<code>as</code> port (version 1.3X) was released; therefore,
78you must rebuild all HPPA objects and libraries with the new
79assembler so that you can debug the final executable.
80</p>
81<p>The HPPA <code>as</code> port generates a small subset of the relocations
82available in the SOM and ELF object file formats.  Additional relocation
83support will be added as it becomes necessary.
