It is very cool. There were some discussions on this list lately
touching upon C vs hand assembly and so on - trying code out in the
explorer can be quite interesting.

Where did you actually find it? On this mailing list? I think I posted
some links and instructions here once.

Directories?  Maybe you mean those in the Debian packaging, which are
only in my PPA.

The above code is older and haven't been touched for a while.

The version in my PPA is the one from William Astle. IIRC he took
Brian's version (the one from code.google.com) and reworked/ported it
to a newer gcc version and ported it to use lwtools as the
assembler/linker backend.

For documentation, the official gcc 4.6.4 manual is here:
