[Albert van der Horst]

The documentation of the GNU assembler as 2.9.5 has the following significant 
defect:

It doesn't document what output format it generates.
I do not think that this is "installation dependant" is an excuse.
At least the documentation (info as) should contain a clue about how
this information can be obtained.

Do not tell me that it is not important, as long you can link.

I am one of the few persons doing extensive assembly programming
on Linux, building an implementation of Forth. 
In particular : an assembler that generates a.out only cannot
be used to implement Forth.

This means that currently I use nasm that generates coff output.

Thanks, Albert.
