Apparently GNU feels you shouldn't need to use the assembler directly.

Old public holdover ... I moved this page to man1 last week.

Old man page when we still called it /usr/software.

lib is where compilers etc. often put their "passes" and gcc-as goes there too.

GAS was moved to the GCC package.  I've created the link gas to the lib
location, but I should probably delete the man page as it's a quicky
from before my time and mostly useless.
