Sorry, but this is not acceptable. The current capabilities of gas allow for
include, macro, conditional and equates. What's not supplied are looping
constructs. The whole point of a macroassembler is to provide exactly what gas
and gasp did combined. Not that I have a choice, but if I did, I would request
that gasp be put back as part of binutils or that another alternative be 
supplied.

BTW, m4 is not a viable alternative. As far as I'm concerned, gasp could be
written in m4, but it's not a currently useable replacement

Do you know why gasp became deprecated in the first place? And is my bug (and my
reasonig) capable of getting it put back as part of the package?
