Comment (by akim.demaille@…):

 @vince: Bonjour !

 @jmr: yes, I do agree, the problem is with the assembly language.  I am
 not knowledgeable in assembly language, yet I expected (i) pcc to generate
 i386 assembly (it's documented to support it, but not x86_64), and (ii) a
 x86_64 assembler to support i386 assembly language.  So I expected this to
 work.

 FWIW

 {{{

 $ less foo.s

         .align 4

 _main:
         pushl %ebp
         movl %esp,%ebp
         subl $8,%esp
         subl $16,%esp

         call Lmain$pb
 Lmain$pb:

         movl %eax,-4(%ebp)

         movl $0,-8(%ebp)
         jmp L12

 }}}

 Same result with both as (/usr/bin and /opt/local/bin).  I could not find
 a MacPort package for gas.
