What the devil?! I'm sure that I checked the new as didn't depend on
libintl. Are you sure you downloaded the new
fbc-mac-20101006-2.tar.bz2? bin/darwin/as should be 1463572 bytes.
That appears to be the version I most recently built.

Well, if you can't build it, I'll put up another build, but the only
new thing will be bundling (I can't even run svn update because the
version of svn on those machines is ancient)

That won't work, as not only is it a cross compiling build to linux,
but it's actually a completely different program: apple and gnu gas
forked something like 20 years ago.

No idea, haven't looked too closely. Customs unlumping/relumping/init
code is a tangled mess, it's surprisingly hard to follow the program
flow.

Well, I hadn't had any crashes on the Mac yet. I know that lots of
empty directories get left behind on Windows, can't actually remember
what happens under Linux.
