But couldn't we depend on the existence of the bnu*.mft or bnu*.ver 
file(s)?  Then all we need is to test the existence of the several 
versions of the file(s) to determine the version of "as" to determine 
what define to use to make the assembly clean.  Could that work?

I'm no "as" expert at all, but is there not an assembly-time macro that 
identifies the version?  And if so, could we not use that macro/symbol?

Separately, do I need to make the "*" changes to the "exceptn.S" and 
"dbgcom.c" files manually to be sure I'm building a correct libc?

Thanks for the info.
