#54166: [submission] gccas
------------------------+-------------------

Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: gccas
------------------------+-------------------
Early llvm versions contained a utility called gccas which sat between the
llvm-gcc front-end and the llvm assembler.
This proposal recreates a similar script that can be used as an
alternative to the `as` command from port:cctools, invoking the clang
assembler instead. It's main purpose is to be used as the default
assembler in the GCC ports but it should be possible to use it anywhere a
more recent GNU as is required than the one shipped with port:cctools.
I've tested the script after rebuilding port:gcc6 : it allows to build a
port like R with `-march=native` even on my i7 where this would normally
lead to errors due to the use of AVX instructions that cctools:as cannot
handle.
Note that I'm open to other names for the script and port.
