+#### GNU gas has a string limit of 4096 characters. On Alphas,
+#### builds will fail due to running over that limit. There are
+#### at least two workarounds:
+#### 1) Change the limit to 8192 characters and rebuild gas. See
+#### ACE-INSTALL.html for more information.
+#### 2) Don't use -g when compiling those files.
+#### If you're building on an Alpha and you haven't hacked and
+#### rebuilt gas, you might need to uncomment the following.
