OK, then why doesn't \/ work?  This would be the same as the native assembler. 
I believe gcc's present default of having / be the comment character, but not
allowing \/ to work means that it fails to act like either the solaris as *or*
itself on linux/x86.

I believe working like linux/x86 would ease porting to solaris/x86, which is
important since this is likely to remain a niche x86 platform, but at least
acting like the solaris as would be coherent . . .

Thanks,
Clint
