Re: Which assembler does clang on OpenBSD use?

Thanks for your answer. I additionaly checked the binaries produced on
i386 (the binary produced with -integrated-as is identical to the one
produced with no additional options but different from the one
produces with -no-integrated-as). I also found that on aarch64, GNU as
is not installed at all (I falsely assumed it would be there because
the corresponding man page is there). This confirms what you are
saying.
