- cln
- coq
- cxxtools

- gauche
- gmime
- gnash (Yanhao)
- gridengine
- groonga
- hoard
- iaxclient
- k9copy (Andrei)
- lame
- libfame
- libgcroots
- libmad (Berwout)
- libmlx4 (Tom)
- lightsparc
- mediatomb
- mjpegtools
- mlt
- mosh (David)
- mpich2
- ocaml-zarith
- openblas
- opencore-amr
- openser
- par2cmdline
- picprog

- sooperlooper (Nina)
- traverso
2. Find the assembler in that software, and determine:
- How much assembley-language code is present
- Which platform(s) it is used on
- Why it is there (what it does)
- What happens on other platforms
- Your opinion of the value of the assembler code VS the loss of portability/increase in complexity of the code.
3. Blog your results in detail.
