This has the same problem as 1: you don't simply distribute one assembly dump, you have to distribute one for each
toolchain/ABI/etc combo. For example:

 - One for SysV ABI, AT&T syntax, and Sandy Bridge;
 - One for Windows x64 ABI, AT&T syntax, and Sandy Bridge (e.g., MinGW)
 - One for Windows x64 ABI, Intel syntax (NASM/YASM), and Sandy Bridge
 - One for Windows x64 ABI, Intel syntax (MASM), and Sandy Bridge
 - One for Go's Plan9 assembly syntax and calling convention, and Sandy Bridge
 - One for SysV ABI, AT&T syntax, and Haswell
 - One for ...

It's not really a major problem, but it is annoying enough that I would very much prefer if the tool came with the
distribution. For that to happen, the tool must be portable, polished, etc. OpenSSL went with Perl, but I would prefer
something better.
