+===== Your first Binutils hack
+
+Have you ever felt that a single `inc` instruction was not enough? Really? Me too!
+
+So let's hack the link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Assembler[GNU GAS assembler], which is part of link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Binutils[GNU Binutils], to add a new shiny version of `inc` called... `myinc`!
+
+GCC uses GNU GAS as its backend, so we will test out new mnemonic with an inline assembly test program: link:userland/arch/x86_64/binutils_hack.c[], which is just a copy of link:userland/arch/x86_64/asm_hello.c[] but with `myinc` instead of `inc`.
+
+The inline assembly is disabled with an `#ifdef`, so first modify the source to enable that.
+
+Then, try to build userland:
+
+....
+./build-userland
+....
+
+and watch it fail with:
+
+....
+binutils_hack.c:8: Error: no such instruction: `myinc %rax'
+....
+
+Now, edit the file
+
+....
+vim submodules/binutils-gdb/opcodes/i386-tbl.h
+....
+
+and add a copy of the `"inc"` instruction just next to it, but with the new name `"myinc"`:
+
+....

 This is our reference setup, and the best supported one, use it unless you have good reason not to.
