+Specifying the -g flag to GCC on a RISC iX machine requires upgrading the 
+standard assembler distributed with both RISC iX 1.1 and RISC iX 1.2 with a 
+replacement that is available from Acorn.  This version of the assembler is
+also an order of magnitude faster when assembling to an NFS mounted 
+file-system.
+
+Users of RISC iX 1.2 and above can obtain a copy of the assembler from the 
+following places:
+
+1) Via ftp from acorn.acorn.co.uk, directory pub/riscix.
+
+2) From Acorn Customer Services.
+
+3) From Granada Microcare.
+
+Users of versions of RISC iX prior 1.2 should contact Acorn Customer Services;
+the assembler available on the net will not work with these versions due to
+changes in the shared libraries and system call numbers.
