Hi Mike, Christoph, and Derick,

To add a bit more information:

These asm files are part of the low-level boost.context lib, found here: =
https://github.com/boostorg/context

This library has infrequent releases. Some of the files for old =
architectures have not changed in several years. Keeping these files =
up-to-date will not be a burden (and I plan to assume this =
responsibility).

The Boost license is extremely permissive and approved by the OSI, so =
there is no problem bundling with PHP.

Hopefully that provides some clarification and you=E2=80=99ll reconsider =
your vote Mike.

Cheers!
