See the file bcc/bcc-cc1/bcc.bugs in the +${DISTFILE} for Bruce's bug list. + +The binutils (assembler and loader) have been renamed to as86 and ld86 +to not conflict with the system's assembler and loader, but they are +also available in the regular BINDIR (normally /usr/local/bin). + +It's also possible to generate MC 6809 code with bcc/as.
