Now I'm curious.  Why would this matter?  The target is already a supported 
target, and the produced output is the same no matter what platform the 
program runs on: it shouldn't matter if the program generates a .gif or an 
executable binary for the commodore 64 from BASIC source code.

The only way this _can_ matter is if A) this sub_ddmmss() thing runs on the 
host, not on the target (in which case, why the heck is it assembly?), B) the 
test is wrong and confusing host with target.
