great book...use 'brew' to install QEMU which will boot Linux
find and boot a Linux image that has dev stuff (which is typical) and
start using gas (gnu assembler) and the other Binutils stuff
you can even install Binutils on your mac, but if you want to do the book
with no changes (like system call numbers) you'll need to boot Linux
