If you've contributed to gas and your name isn't listed here, it is
|

not meant as a slight. I just don't know about it. Email me,
|
||
|
|
raeburn@cygnus.com and I'll correct the situation.

Jay Fenlason maintained gas for a while, adding support for
|
||
|
|
gdb-specific debug information and the 68k series machines, most of
|
||
|
|
the preprocessing pass, and extensive changes in messages.c,
