Yes, Hermes will compile and install on FreeBSD, with full assembler 
support, even without NASM, using gcc directly (if you have a gcc that
supports MMX instructions! gcc 2.7.2 does NOT support MMX instructions)

Note, however, that the 'make' utility on my FreeBSD at least could not cope
with the automatically generated make files. So, here's the condition:

	You need GNU make installed somewhere. Use the following command when
	configuring the package (see INSTALL.unix):
	   
	  env MAKE=/path/to/gnumake/make ./configure

	If you are using bash, leave away the 'env' command. To build:

  	  /path/to/gnumake/make 

Note that if your gcc is too old to support MMX instructions (e.g. gcc
2.7.2), the assembler files will not build. Use ./configure --disable-x86asm
in this case.

That's it, enjoy. Read INSTALL.unix and README for more.
