I've always wondered why when compiling MAME or MESS there are a couple of one-off's that appear.
Not being a programmer i'm curious why things like the TMS57002 source needs be generated after other TMS c files are compiled. Why doesn't this exist already? i can't imagine that there's something unique amongst everyone's build environment that this file can't be static from the get go.
The same thing with the 68K core, why is there a seperate comiler/"emulator" for this during compiling? Is it written in assembly and that's why the c compiler won't work?
