ROFL. That's what I get for making assumptions and using the wrong
tests to verify them. ;-) That's also what I get for listening to my
coworker. ;-)
Here's where the assumption came from (README)
e3's assembler version is primary available on Linux. FreeBSD and
BeOS are also possible, but there are also GNU-C-written versions
for non-i386-Unix platforms (e3.c, included again) and for 16-bit
DOS (not anymore included).
This README doesn't further care about e3.c. (Just make it!)
So, it's available, but just not being built in the Debian package.
It may be advantageous to make a new binary package for e3c so we can
get a little cross-platform use. ;-)
