hmm, well, probably the result of a halfhearted attempt
to satisfy both, the OpenStep and the MacOS Classic
developers ... but that doesn't belong here ...
just as fact:

ONTOPIC:

subdirectory which can easily be removed on cleanup?
of course, gcc could also be changed to use different
extensions than .s and .S for those files ...
