I was using bash, and asmtrans was being called from the Makefile, with
arguments.

asmtrans.ttp was crashing on my UNIX host; I set the cross-compiler and
everything up to use the native GCC on the host to create asmtrans.ttp
_for_the_host_ so I wouldn't have to munge the Makefile any more and I
wouldn't have to go to my ST to finish up the MiNT build.

Sorry for the confusion; I only thought of that this morning.  asmtrans.ttp
was named like an Atari executable, but it was an Intel SysV executable,
and I was running on the Intel SysV box that I do my cross-compiling on.
