Tim, I think the as we have from the s2 tape is a V2
assembler, as it has
an 0407 header, not an 0405 header.
Yah, that makes sense. I guess this means that the system we
rebuild won't be capable of building itself unless we somehow
find an old as or srcs.
Given that we know the assembler has predefined
symbols, which means
renaming $mount, I think we might as well take the path where we modify
the source code so that it can be built with the tools we have, which is
your option 2) above. And of course, document the changes.
The approach I'm taking currently is to use the 1972_stuff "as" (v2)
using apout and some sed magic so that the original sources are
undisturbed. The code is in the svn as tools/assem.
