[uw.mfcf.bugs] gas-inspired questions.

From: Ray Butterworth <rbutterworth>

"man gas" says to use /usr/software/gnu/lib/gcc-as.

Why is it "gcc-as" if the man page is for "gas"?

Why is it under /usr/man/manp instead of under /software/gnu/man?

Why does it refer to "/usr/software", instead of to "/software".

Why is the program under "lib" and not under "bin"?
Isn't "lib" for "*.a" files?

And why doesn't /software/gnu/lib even exist?
