The sanity check doesn't work under nue --- I guess that the compiler/assembler there is too old. I see: check-gas-asm.S: Assembler messages: check-gas-asm.S:1: Error: Expected ':' check-gas-asm.S:1: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is ':'. check-has-asm.S:2: Error: backw. ref to unknown label "1:", 0 assumed. objdump: check-gas-asm.o: No such file or directory check-gas: [: !=: unary operator expected (And then check-gas script echoes 'good' and things go on... even though it's not good) Is there going to be a new nue available soon, with a later toolchain?
