GNU Assembler (ARMv8 - Raspberry Pi 3)

[Pervin, William]

While not a bug report, I have been told to write this site for information and help. Sorry if it's inappropriate.

The new Raspberry Pi 3 has a 64-bit ARMv8 processor (WiFi, Bluetooth, C, Python, Mathematica, FreeOffice, etc. all free

with the still US$35 board!) and I'm using the GNU assembler (32-bit) successfully. I am writing a book on assembler and

would now like to get a 64-bit assembler from GNU. Is there one available? If not yet, when might it appear? Of course I

also want a new C compiler to take advantage of the processor. Again, is there one yet? 

Thanks for any information you can give me.
