find at the beginning of a file. The default behavior is controlled

by two flags, documented below. Unless your target’s assembler is
|
||
|
quite unusual, if you override the default, you should call
|

|
<code>default_file_start</code> at some point in your target hook. This

definition of <code>ASM_APP_OFF</code>, the effect is to notify the GNU

whitespace from its input. This allows it to work a bit faster.

</p>

verified that your port does not generate any extra whitespace or

comments that will cause GAS to issue errors in NO_APP mode.
