Developing PALCode on RH 7.1/7.2?

[Donald White]

Group,

I work on the development of the Sombrero operating system for the Alpha 
at ASU.  See this url: <http://www.eas.asu.edu/~sasos/>.  Currently, we 
develop our PALCode using the EBSDK on NT 4.0.  I would like to move 
this to RH 7.1/7.2 to reduce the number of patforms required for 
building the OS.  I studied MILO and tried to set up my make files and 
tools the same.

I have thus far tried and failed.  The two versions of gnu as just 
produce diferent machine code.  In fact I find it somewhat unusual that 
the assembly instructions do not correspond to machine instructions. 
Through looking at output listings and such, it seems that the assembler 
gets creative in interpreting lda and ldah.  Is there anyway to get the 
assembler to just generate the code as written?  Or is this the wrong 
thing to want?

BTW, when I earlier updated my $10 164LX, I used the yum approach.  I 
downloaded the updates, ran yum-arch, did the manual steps from the 
release notes and let yum do the rest.  Thanks.
