Now that we have the V1 and V2 binaries in the svn tree, I thought I would
try to use the V2 assembler to build the kernel, instead of the V7 one.
After a bit of experimentation, I got it to work. It means we can remove
our dependency on the V7 assembler.
I've committed tools/assemv2, the script to build with V2 as, and a patch
to redefine $mount and $gtty.
It probably means that we could rebuild the kernel while running V1; I
haven't tried this as yet.
Cheers,
Warren

Great! I'm not sure why, but previously it got the instruction at
location "400" wrong, but with your patches it looks right. I'm glad to
get rid of the v7 assembler and would have prefered to use the v2
assembler all along.
