   Try a command prompt. Via explorer might not set working dir.

   1. Clean out redundant assembler. It might have hidden assumptions about   
      compiler and rtl internals.    
   2. Provide hh_common and other missing sources so we can actually test?!?

   Redundant.

   No idea.

   See above. Without a complete set of sources it is hard to test.
