I kindof figured gcc would invoke "as" to do what it couldn't do itself.
gcc seem to be alround for .c and .cpp, so why not .a :)

If this is possible, why does Crafty use a special .s file for linux assembly
and then have windows assembly as inline assembly in regular .c files?
Can I use it directly in .cpp just by tossing "asm" around it?
I will try.

Okay, that did actually work :)
