deprecate non-64 bit, non-gas, non-GNU/Linux assembler #257

Closed mcandre closed 8 months ago

Too much to maintain. architectures (AT&T | Intel notation) is already potentially large enough target matrix without having to consider alternative assemblers, multiple Linux libc implementations, and multiple operating systems.

On the other hand, Go, LLVM, NASM, and YASM offer better cross-operating system support (Windows) than GAS. While portability is not especially critical for assembler projects, we like to keep the door open when possible.
