As far as I can tell the GNAT system expects everything to be in GAS (Gnu
Assembler) syntax and it expects the Assembler to be GAS.

I've not found any documentation anywhere explaining how to use something
like Nasm(Netwide Assembler), Tasm(Turbo Assembler), Fasm, ect... or
anything besides Gas with GNAT.

Dont misunderstand me. GNAT is awsome. But it seems a little Amish in
this respect. I could direct the backend GCC to link in my Nasm code, but
then that means usually dicking with C calling conventions in tedium.

Any pointers?
