every programmer needs to do this at some point in their life. it is too easy to take take modern languages for granted. but i'm a little disappointed that you dogged `make`. i think the programming landscape would be a lot more effective if people took the time to learn about what already exists (not just make but autoconf/automake/configure) instead of reinventing the wheel every three years.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the feedback. It wasn't my intention to 'dog' make, I just felt that for an entry level post that introducing the make syntax may detract from the focus on assembly (although make is an integral part of gas asm) and add extra complexity and length to the (already very long) article. Anything more complex, such as multiple .s files would definitely warrant a description of make. Thanks again.
