development tools

[Nathan Hawkins]

Development tools I use:

Linux GNU gcc/binutils/gdb and as86/ld86
DJGPP 2.0 GNU gcc/binutils/fsdb
A86/Turbo Debug (for 16-bit coding)
(also GNU make and awk)

Of these, the DJGPP environment is the only one which has a functioning 
assembly level 32-bit debugger, so I'm going to be switching to that. (I 
just got it.)

I'm currently trying to figure out how the port as86/ld86 over to DJGPP. 
Problem is, DJGPP uses COFF, which I know nothing about, while as86 uses 
a.out and something unknown. So I'm going to have recompile binutils, so 
I can use objcopy to convert Linux a.out into COFF. This probably won't 
get done for a while... :-(  But once done, I'll move the work over to 
as86, instead of gas.

Note: I'll be doing development under DJGPP, but I'll maintain makefiles 
for Linux, so everyone else can use that.

I'm still looking for a 32-bit debugger for Linux capable of doing 
assembly level without extreme brain-damage, like gdb. (Preferably a 
full-screen debugger, like Turbo Debug.) If anyone has any suggestions, 
or knows of a package that I haven't found, please let me know.
