Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #37846, comment 14

initial	v1
1	1	gcc on macOS uses the ancient apple gcc assembler from about 1852. It is version 1.32, and hasn't been updated in years. The build of gcc-as in binutils is disabled as it is not apple-happy. I would love it if somebody would update that to something fresh.

3		However, gcc accepts {{{-Wa,-q}}} which causes it to use {{{clang}}} as the ~~compi~~ler. So you can add that to the cflags and cxxflags on a gcc build, and if {{{clang}}} calls to some newish version of clang, you're good to go.

5	5	There is a flag to spec the clang you want to sent the asm to, I believe. I just haven't found it / tested it / bothered to look for it.
