If you truely have faith that Lindela is of value to the programming

the cause of it being available with practically every Linux distro.
Food for thought, anyway.

Unix and C belongs together (or Linux and GCC). Give me one reason why
somebody would want to write an application for Unix in assembler. And if
you need some parts of the code in assembler, then the only logical way
is, to use GAS. There is no need for any other assembler in Linux for
writing software.

Nonsense. If one uses Linux, dislikes GAS, likes NASM, and
desires ones inner loops to run faster than the C compiler
can make them, then there /is/ a need for another assembler
in linux, namely NASM. It's the demand that defines the
need, not the supply.

clear and logical 68k syntax.
