-If you've contributed to gas and your name isn't listed here, it is
-not meant as a slight.  I just don't know about it.  Email me,
-nickc@redhat.com and I'll correct the situation.
-
-This file will eventually be deleted: The general info will go into
-the documentation, and info on specific files will go into an AUTHORS
-file, as requested by the FSF.

-++++++++++++++++
-
-Dean Elsner wrote the original gas for vax.  [more details?]
-
-Jay Fenlason maintained gas for a while, adding support for
-gdb-specific debug information and the 68k series machines, most of
-the preprocessing pass, and extensive changes in messages.c,
-input-file.c, write.c.
-
-K. Richard Pixley maintained gas for a while, adding various
-enhancements and many bug fixes, including merging support for several
-processors, breaking gas up to handle multiple object file format
-backends (including heavy rewrite, testing, an integration of the coff
-and b.out backends), adding configuration including heavy testing and
-verification of cross assemblers and file splits and renaming,
-converted gas to strictly ansi C including full prototypes, added
-support for m680[34]0 & cpu32, considerable work on i960 including a
-coff port (including considerable amounts of reverse engineering), a
-sparc opcode file rewrite, decstation, rs6000, and hp300hpux host
-ports, updated "know" assertions and made them work, much other
-reorganization, cleanup, and lint.
-
-Ken Raeburn wrote the high-level BFD interface code to replace most of
-the code in format-specific I/O modules.
-
-The original Vax-VMS support was contributed by David L. Kashtan.
-Eric Youngdale and Pat Rankin have done much work with it since.
-
-The Intel 80386 machine description was written by Eliot Dresselhaus.
-
-Minh Tran-Le at IntelliCorp contributed some AIX 386 support.
-
-The Motorola 88k machine description was contributed by Devon Bowen of
-Buffalo University and Torbjorn Granlund of the Swedish Institute of
-Computer Science.
-
-Keith Knowles at the Open Software Foundation wrote the original MIPS
-back end (tc-mips.c, tc-mips.h), and contributed Rose format support
-that hasn't been merged in yet.  Ralph Campbell worked with the MIPS
-code to support a.out format.
-
-Support for the Zilog Z8k and Hitachi H8/300, H8/500 and SH processors
-(tc-z8k, tc-h8300, tc-h8500, tc-sh), and IEEE 695 object file format
-(obj-ieee), was written by Steve Chamberlain of Cygnus Solutions.
-Steve also modified the COFF back end (obj-coffbfd) to use BFD for
-some low-level operations, for use with the Hitachi, 29k and Zilog
-targets.
-
-John Gilmore built the AMD 29000 support, added .include support, and
-simplified the configuration of which versions accept which
-pseudo-ops.  He updated the 68k machine description so that Motorola's
-opcodes always produced fixed-size instructions (e.g. jsr), while
-synthetic instructions remained shrinkable (jbsr).  John fixed many
-bugs, including true tested cross-compilation support, and one bug in
-relaxation that took a week and required the proverbial one-bit fix.
-
-Ian Lance Taylor of Cygnus Solutions merged the Motorola and MIT
-syntaxes for the 68k, completed support for some COFF targets (68k,
-i386 SVR3, and SCO Unix), wrote the ECOFF support based on Michael
-Meissner's mips-tfile program, wrote the PowerPC and RS/6000 support,
-and made a few other minor patches.  He handled the binutils releases
-for versions 2.7 through 2.9.
-
-David Edelsohn contributed fixes for the PowerPC and AIX support.
-
-Steve Chamberlain made gas able to generate listings.
-
-Support for the HP9000/300 was contributed by Glenn Engel of HP.
-
-Support for ELF format files has been worked on by Mark Eichin of
-Cygnus Solutions (original, incomplete implementation), Pete
-Hoogenboom at the University of Utah (HPPA mainly), Michael Meissner
-of the Open Software Foundation (i386 mainly), and Ken Raeburn of
-Cygnus Solutions (sparc, initial 64-bit support).
-
-Several engineers at Cygnus Solutions have also provided many small
-bug fixes and configuration enhancements.
-
-The initial Alpha support was contributed by Carnegie-Mellon
-University.  Additional work was done by Ken Raeburn of Cygnus
-Solutions.  Richard Henderson then rewrote much of the Alpha support.
-
-Ian Dall updated the support code for the National Semiconductor 32000
-series, and added support for Mach 3 and NetBSD running on the PC532.
-
-Klaus Kaempf ported the assembler and the binutils to openVMS/Alpha.
-
-Steve Haworth contributed the support for the Texas Instruction c30
-(tms320c30).
-
-H.J. Lu has contributed many patches and much testing.
-
-Alan Modra reworked much of the i386 backend, improving the error
-checking, updating the code, and improving the 16 bit support, using
-patches from the work of Martynas Kunigelis and H.J. Lu.
-
-Many others have contributed large or small bugfixes and enhancements.  If
-you've contributed significant work and are not mentioned on this list, and
-want to be, let us know.  Some of the history has been lost; we aren't
-intentionally leaving anyone out.
