I wanted to find a small niche hobby coding project that approximately nobody would care about.

I'm tooting about it now, and I don't expect you to care.

I want to use m68k-linux-gnu-as cross-assembler, but it doesn't support the Motorola syntax the original Amiga tools did.

How hard can it be to write a preprocessor that converts vasm mot syntax module compatible assembly to GNU as?!

Turns out, less trivial than I thought.
