Details:

I was trying to bootstrap MIT/GNU Scheme on Debian GNU/Hurd by compiling from
src/microcode in the latest snapshot and I noticed on my own that I didn't
have m4 installed.  The build system never complains about the missing
dependency, nor does GCC complain that its receiving empty assembly source
files.  One does get a lot of "undefined references" from GCC when linking
occurs.

This gave me the opportunity to check out all the assembly code for MIT
Scheme written in stunning m4.
