There is no reason to mention an ancient Amiga assembler as the source
for INCBIN, especially since it is supported by quite a few other
assemblers.

Use a percentage size modifier for code/pre, which hopefully should
allow it to respect enclosing size modifications (for headings.)

It turns out that we need a Fontmap file after all, *and* -I. to make
gs find it. Inconsistent results came from stray Fontmap files from
previous debug attempts.
Now generate both fontpath and Fontmap, and hopefully at least one of
them should work. We might, in fact, need both, one for gs to know
where the files are and one for gs to know it is allowed to read them.
The core problem seems to be that gs will find OTF fonts by its normal
discovery mechanisms, but for some reason don't seem to use them
unless it can find them in a Fontmap, Font directory, of CIDFont
directory.

Enough users expect the namespace starting with underscore to be safe
for symbols. Change our private namespace from __foo__ to
__?foo?__. Use %defalias to provide backwards compatiblity (by using
%defalias instead of %define, we handle the case properly where the
user changes the value.)
Add a preprocessor directive:
%aliases off
... to disable all smacro aliases and thereby making the namespace
clean.
Finally, fix infinite recursion when seeing %? or %?? due to
paste_tokens(). If we don't paste anything, the expansion is done.

Seems like Ghostscript has managed to break fontconfig support again,
at least in Fedora 30. Help Ghostscript along by giving it an explicit
font path.

note, preinit_array, init_array, and fini_array are ELF section types
that can matter to the assembly programmer.

Dead code elimination in ELF uses separate ELF sections for every
functions or data items that may be garbage collected. This can end up
being more than 32,633 sections which, when the ELF internal and
relocation sections are added in, can exceed the legacy ELF maximum of
65,279 sections.
Newer versions of the ELF specification has added support for much
larger number of sections by putting a place holder value (usually
SHN_XINDEX == 0xffff, but 0 in some cases) into fields where the
section index is a 16-bit value, and storing the full value in a
diffent place: the program header uses entries in section header 0,
the symbol table uses an auxiliary segment with the additional
indicies; the section header did not need it as the sh_link field is
already 32 (or 64) bits long.

Add support for the "merge" attribute in ELF, along with the
associated "strings" and size specifier attributes.
Fix a few places where we used "int", but a larger type really ought
to have been used.
Be a bit more lax about respecifying attributes. For example, align=
can be respecified; the highest resulting value is used.

For debugging preprocessed code, it is useful to be able to ignore
%line directives rather than having to filter them out externally.

It is extremely desirable to allow the user fine-grained control of
warnings, but this has been complicated by the fact that a warning
class has had to be defined in no less than three places (error.h,
error.c, nasmdoc.src) before it can be used in source code. Instead,
use a script to define these via magic comments at the point of use.
This hopefully will encourage creating new classes as needed.

There are probably other corner cases where we could at the very
least produce an incorrectly rounded result, so be a bit more cagey
about the description of the bug.

BR 3392527: make sure that all command-line specified preprocessing
directives are processed after the system-generated ones. In
particular __OUTPUT_FORMAT__ was generated after command line pass 2,
at which point -p, -d, -u, --pragma and --before had already been
processed.
There is no reason to split up defined_macros() anymore: the right
place to execute it is simply between command line passes 1 and 2. We
can also set dfmt here, which lets us define a __DEBUG_FORMAT__ macro
as well.
Finally move some options that have no business being processed in
pass 2 to pass 1.
